A NEW market has been set up in Dursley with the aim of providing a winter alternative to car boot sales.

The table-top sale - known as the Barrow Market - has been launched at the Chantry Centre on selected Sunday mornings through to February next year. 

Organisers say the name comes from the wheelbarrows available to help sellers transport their pre-loved items from their cars to selling tables. 

There is free entry for buyers.

Meanwhile, sellers can book a table in advance online at a cost of £7 per table.

The market is due to take place on December 1 (2024), January 4 (2025), February 2 (2025) and February 16 (2025).

An organiser said: “Sad to see the end of the season for car boot sales? 

“The Chantry Centre has a solution.

“It has a new winter alternative to car boot sales - the Barrow Market.

“The Barrow Market is a table-top sale but with a bit of a difference!”
