The Classic Carboot Sale
Last year I freelanced for Hemingway Design and we spent 8 months curating the Queens Diamond Jubilee Festival where one very exciting part was a Classic Carboot Sale. I’m excited to tell you all that the team are now organising this as a stand alone event and it takes place next Saturday along the banks of the river Thames.
Over 100 classic cars will line up between Queen’s Walk, Hunderford Bridge and Jubilee Gardens. Traders will assemble the finest vintage fashion, homewares and pop culture memorabilia, operating from the boot of their vintage vehicle of the basket of their classic bicycle. HOW EXCITING!
