Thrifter finds 'world's best car boot sale' for bargains and it's closer than you think

If you love a good bargain, you will no doubt be a fan of attending car boot sales, where the possibility of unearthing a hidden gem is often too tempting to ignore. That's the case for Becky Chorlton, who regularly documents her thrifting adventures and the discoveries she makes in discount stores on social media.

"My most asked question is, 'How do you find the best car boot sales - and which one is your favourite?'" Becky began in a TikTok video. Sharing footage from such a location she described as the "best in the world," she revealed it opens every Saturday and Sunday from 6am to 1pm, with a 50p per person charge to get in.

Becky went on to explain that the site is "absolutely huge" and bustling with buyers and sellers alike.

"It takes a solid few hours to get round the whole thing," she continued, as she pointed out on-site facilities including a burger van that offers a full English breakfast, face-painting for the kids as well as a hairdresser and a live band performing.

Becky went on to tease that the car boot also includes a butcher, a fresh produce vendor and "rows upon rows" of stalls.

On this particular visit, she said she managed to "score so many bargains," including Jellycat soft toys, vintage clothes and things for the house. "Most items were only £1," Becky hailed.

"It's a proper family vibe and a good day out - there's something for everyone and we actually ended up leaving with four giant IKEA bags full of stuff - that's how good this car boot sale is."

Of course, the burning question is: where can this car boot sale be found?

"If you're in the area - and even if you are not - this place is 100 per cent worth visiting," Becky closed as she detailed on screen that it is located in Skirlington, near Driffield in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Writing in response to the video, one of the car boot sale's organisers added further details: "£10 a car, £14 a van - great value for such a busy car boot!

"The new Saturday events are thriving, perfectly located near Hornsea, Bridlington and Beverley on the East Coast. Find us at YO25 8SY, Hornsea Road, Skirlington Market."

A second person was just as impressed by it, declaring: "I love Skirlington car boot! Got lots of bargains there!"

A third added in shock: "Omg this looks INSANE! Actually a day out!"

Whilst a fourth TikTok user pointed out: "It's even bigger at Easter, we go every year!" To which Becky replied: "Yep and Bank Holiday weekends are huge too."
