Greater Manchester’s popular classic car boot sale is returning this summer, and there’ll be loads of vintage gems.

After venturing to the North for the first time in its history last summer, proving to be a smash-hit success with retro fashion-loving crowds, the Classic Car Boot Sale is set to return to MediaCity once again this July.

It’s all sounding set to be a vintage, pre-loved, and classic car enthusiast’s ‘paradise’, and it’s even being described as being ‘a festival in its own right’.

The hugely-popular event – which has been held bi-annually in London since 2011 – assembles more than 150 of the finest vintage and sustainable fashion, accessories, and homewares traders from across the UK, and gathers them all in one location so thousands of shoppers, collectors, and petrol heads can fill their boots.

The event is a celebration of nostalgia, style, and sustainability, where classic cars, vintage and secondhand fashion, and a diverse music lineup all come together.

There’ll also be an array of independent street food served from vintage vans across the two-day event too, alongside the unmissable Bus Bar, delivering non-stop tunes spanning lots of genres – with a special nod to the 90s, as Manchester gears up to welcome Oasis back home.

Promising to be the ultimate vintage shopping experience, the unmissable Charity Super.Mkt will also be making a return with a pop-up raising money for a number of different charities, including the RSPCA, British Heart Foundation, and Emmaus.

New for this year is the Best in Show Catwalk, where the best dressed attendees are picked out to show off and chat about their outfits.

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring The Classic Car Boot Sale back to MediaCity for its second year,” commented Wayne Hemingway MBE, who is the founder of HemingwayDesign and co-founder of The Classic Car Boot Sale, ahead of the event this summer.

“MediaCity is a fab location for an event like this, and we can’t wait for the people of Manchester and Salford to dive into this unforgettable experience again.
