A long-running community tradition in Kingswinford is set to grow as Col’s Car Boot announces it will begin hosting sales on Fridays starting 1 May 2026, according to a recent announcement on Facebook. This addition would bring the market to a four-day weekly operation, providing local residents with more opportunities to sell unwanted items or browse for bargains.
Located on the B4176 Himley bypass (A449) between Sandiacre farm shop and Waggon & Horses pub, near both Wombourne and Kingswinford, the family-run market has operated for over 38 years. In addition to the new Friday openings, the site remains active on Wednesdays, Sundays, and Bank Holiday Mondays. According to the official website, all boots start from 6am onwards, though the Facebook page mentions sellers can arrive from 5am, and the venue continues to operate throughout the year regardless of the season.
The market, which has built a significant following over nearly four decades, offers a variety of amenities for visitors, including onsite toilets, bouncy castles for children, and several food vendors such as Mrs. T’s donuts. The site is a popular destination in the West Midlands, often attracting thousands of buyers during the busiest times of the year.
Those interested in trading can secure a spot without needing to book in advance. Pricing for sellers is set at £9 for a car, £12 for a car with a trailer or a small van, and £15 for a large van. Buyers are charged an entry fee of £1 per car. Further information regarding operations can be found on the Col’s Car Boot official website or their Facebook page.
The site, managed by Col’s Car Boot Limited, is situated within the constituency represented by Mike Wood MP, who has been known to support local businesses in the area.
