Residents in Royal Tunbridge Wells can visit the Mabledon Farm Boot Fair this Sunday, 5 April 2026, as the popular event returns for the start of its spring season. Held on Easter Sunday, the outdoor market offers a space for locals to sell unwanted household items and for visitors to browse second-hand goods.

Located on London Road in Southborough, the event is known as Kent’s friendliest boot sale and operates on a fortnightly basis through to 4 October 2026. Gates open at 6:00 AM, and sellers do not need to book in advance. Instead, vendors can simply turn up and pay upon arrival, where they will be directed to their pitch by Mabledon Farm staff.

For those looking to sell, the cost is £12 per car, £14 for a van or a car with a trailer, and £16 for a large van. Members of the public wishing to browse the stalls can enter for £1.50 per person. Toilets and refreshments are available on-site for all attendees, and the event remains easily accessible from the A26 London Road.

The organisers, who share event updates through their social media page, hold the market every other Sunday. Following this weekend, upcoming dates include 19 April, 3 May, and 17 May 2026. Further information regarding the prices and general details can be found on the official venue website.
