The Brighton Car Boot Sale is held at two main venues: Brighton Marina and Brighton Racecourse. The Brighton Marina Car Boot Sale is located at Brighton Marina, BN2 5UT, offering free parking and stunning views over the marina, and it is known as Brighton's longest-running car boot event with a vibrant mix of sellers, plenty of bargains, and food trucks for refreshments. Nearby Brighton Marina, visitors can find waterside cafes, shops, entertainment venues, and scenic walking areas along the waterfront. Alternatively, the Brighton Racecourse Car Boot Sale, on Freshfield Road, BN2 9XZ, sits slightly inland and offers expansive parking, pet-friendly access, and catering on-site; it's well-placed for reaching iconic Brighton attractions like Brighton Pier, the Royal Pavilion, and the city's beaches and parks. Both locations provide convenient access to local amenities, eateries, and the lively atmosphere of the surrounding Brighton and Hove area, making them perfect for a browse before exploring more of the city's highlights.
