By Swindon Now Editorial Team · Published
Organisers have announced that the weekly car boot sale at Greenbridge Recreation Ground will conclude its 2026 season in mid-October.
Residents planning their final weekend treasure hunts should note that the popular weekly car boot sale at Greenbridge Recreation Ground is approaching the end of its 2026 run. Organisers have confirmed that the final event of the season is scheduled for Saturday, 17 October, provided that weather and ground conditions remain suitable.
The event, which has been a staple for bargain hunters and traders throughout the summer, operates every Saturday morning. Sellers are permitted to arrive from 10am to set up their pitches, with the site opening to buyers at 11am. For those hoping to beat the rush, early bird access is available from 10.30am at a cost of £2 per person.
As a community-focused market, the organisers have maintained a straightforward approach for those wishing to sell items. There is no requirement for advance booking; sellers can simply arrive on the day with their goods, with the cost of a pitch set at £10 per vehicle. The site offers free parking and various food and refreshment options for visitors.
While the schedule is currently set through to mid-October, attendees are strongly advised to monitor local updates before travelling. Because the market is held on open ground, it is subject to the elements. Organisers have stated that no further dates will be added after 17 October, and even the planned final sessions remain contingent on the condition of the ground at Greenbridge.
Potential visitors are encouraged to check the official Swindon Car Boot Sale website for any last-minute weather-related cancellations or changes to the schedule as the end of the season approaches.
