Second crafty car boot sale to be held in Northallerton

Stalls at the Crafty Car Boot Sale in June, including Romanby WI.

The second crafty car boot sale will take place in Northallerton this weekend.

The car boots are the idea of local entrepreneur and mum of two, Samantha Jennings, who aims to share her passion for hand made goods and a thrifty mindset.

Samantha already runs Made by Mummy Markets, which are regular arts and crafts fairs held in the district.

She said: “I work with women who make wonderful things to sell at fairs and markets.

“Most crafters are also hoarders and collect all sorts of equipment, tools, and materials as they discover which type of craft might be the one for them.

“Having seen many of these craft stashes in the spare bedrooms, garages, and studios of my clients I thought it was quite sad that so much of this creative stuff was just collecting dust.

“I also work a lot with people who are just starting up crafting hobbies or businesses who can’t afford to go out and buy all of the gear.

“So, I thought maybe these two problems had one solution. A car boot sale where people with big craft stashes could pass on their treasure to people just starting their crafting journey.”

This is the second crafty car boot that has taken place at Crazy Kingdom in Northallerton.

Samantha added; “At the previous event whole families attended.

“Typically dad and kids going inside to play while mum shops at the car boot sale, then regrouping for food in the café. The crafty car boot sale makes for an ideal family trip out.

“Or equally the easy to reach location on the industrial estate and free entry means that if you just wanted to pop in for a quick browse on your way elsewhere you can. Items for sale will include nearly new craft equipment, tools, materials and some hand made items being sold at sale prices.

The sale takes place outside of Crazy Kingdom (the soft play centre) on Standard Way in Northallerton on Sunday from 10am to 1pm.

Sellers can trade at the sale for £10. Customers shop for free.

Sellers spaces can be reserved by emailing samantha@madebymummymarkets.com
