Tilgate Park hosts regular Sunday morning car boot sales between 9am and 1pm, with a limited number of seller pitches available each week. With hard-standing pitches in the main Tilgate Park car park, the event runs in March, April, May, June, September and October on selected weekends. Visit our Events page to see when the car boot sales are taking place.

Buyers can enter via the Titmus Drive entrance and entry is free for buyers. Please bring cash for purchases.

Traders must arrive between 7.45am and 8.45am, entering via the K2 Leisure Centre entrance and following the signage to Tilgate Park. 

No vehicle movement will be allowed after 8.45am and vehicles must remain stationary with engines turned off during trading hours. Trader vehicles cannot leave until 1pm, except in emergencies and under the direction of event staff.

Please refer to the terms and conditions below for further explanation on vehicle classifications.

Please note:

• the maximum vehicle length we accept is 5.3 metres due to the length of the bays
• oversized vehicles that do not fit within the marked pitch may be refused entry
• trailers must be single-axle and low level and must fit within the trading space adjacent to your vehicle otherwise you will be asked to move it (charges may apply)
• the event will proceed in all weather conditions. No refunds or transfers will be issued for non-attendance or adverse weather unless we cancel the event 

Bookings can be made in advance online or on the day (subject to availability). Bookings on the day are cash only.

Each vehicle that is booked for the car boot sale will be provided with a space to park, plus space for trading. In most cases this space will be in the adjacent bay but in a small number of spaces this will be in front of the vehicle. 

When you arrive you will be directed to the next available space by our Events team and told where your trading space is. Only the booked vehicle may use the included parking. Additional vehicles must pay the standard parking charges. You are able to trade on your pitch until 1pm and may stay on your pitch until 2pm. After this time additional parking charges apply.

Each vehicle needs to be booked separately using the form below.
