Staverton Group Bonsai Boot Sale
Bradley Road, Southwick, Wiltshire. BA14 9RH.
Staverton Bonsai Group is a small group of enthusiasts who have been together for about six years, they meet on a regular basis every last Sunday of the month in Staverton, membership to this group is by invitation only.
The car boot sale has been organised by them for the last 5 years, it's steadily grown every year in size, so they have had to re-locate several times in order to accommodate the yearly expansion. Luckily for them Staverton is located in the beautiful rolling countryside with plenty of open fields, this latest location in the village of Southwick not far from Staverton is perfect. The very large field can easily accommodate the existing event with plenty of room for future expansion, the site is easily accessible from the road and also allows for unlimited parking. The great thing with this event is over night camping is allowed, so anyone travelling any great distance
can break the journey up with an over night stay if they wish, allowing for a Saturday night BBQ and a great time to catch up with friends. The most important thing, the overnight camping or the two local Premier Inn hotels allow visitors travelling any great distance to be on the door step first thing in the morning not missing any of the car boot bargains and there were plenty. If camping or hotels are not for you, this event starting at 9am and finishing mid-afternoon with so many traders attending gives the one day visitor plenty of time to travel from afar and there will still be plenty to see and buy. Catering was well sorted, whether just a coffee or a bacon roll in the morning or full on fish and chips at lunch time, followed by a trip to the ice cream van, all good.
I seriously recommend this event, it ticks so many boxes in every way possible, whether your local or afar, buying or selling, put this in your diary, its scheduled for next year 30Jul23.
See you there
