Stickney car boot sale is one of the popular ones in Lincolnshire. There has never been a more popular time for the outdoor markets after months where householders used the Covid-19 lockdown as an opportunity to have a clearout. It is also the perfect way to recycle rather than send unwanted items to landfill. Boot sales first became popular in the UK in the 1970s. It has been said that Father Harry Clarke, a Catholic priest from Stockport, introduced them here as a charity fundraiser, after seeing a similar event or trunk fair in Canada, while on holiday there. Lincolnshire World will be on a bargain hunt at a boot sale in Burgh-le-Marsh in a grassy field on the roundabout with the A158 on Friday, May 4. It is held every Friday morning and on Bank Holiday Mondays.
