We are delighted to share some exciting news from FONS (Friends of Newport School, Barnstaple) — for the first time ever, we will be holding a Car Boot Sale in the school playground on Sunday 10th May.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have a clear‑out, make a profit, grab a bargain, and most importantly, help us raise the final funds needed for Project Playground — bringing us one big step closer to creating an amazing outdoor space for our children to enjoy.

Want to sell?

If you’d like to book a pitch:
🚗Cars: £10
🚗Vans ( VW Transporter size): £15

All sellers must pre‑book and pay via our Zeffy booking link:
👉 https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/car-boot-sale-2

Spaces are limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

The pitch fee will be taken by Friends of Newport School (FONS) when you book through Zeffy, and any funds raised from sales on your car boot sale pitch on the day will be yours to keep.

Coming along to browse or buy?

🪙£1 entry per adult, children free.


We’ll also have a food van on site, selling Sausage/Bacon Baps and Hot drinks🥓☕

Perfect for a relaxed Sunday morning while supporting the school.

Do you have toys no longer played with, books gathering dust, or items tucked away in cupboards? This is the perfect excuse to clear out, recycle, and raise money all at the same time. Every pound raised goes directly towards Project Playground, helping us reach our final funding goal and make a real difference for our children.

We truly appreciate your continued support and hope you’ll join us — whether as a seller, a buyer, or both — to make this first ever FONS Car Boot Sale a huge success.

Thank you for supporting our school community.
Together, we’re building a playground to remember

If you’d like to meet Claire, she will be at Waterstones tomorrow evening at 6:30 PM for the Barnstaple Light Switch-On event. A great opportunity to say hello and pick up her new book,"Hettie Nettle's Handbook for Hedgewitches"!
