Rather disheartened to hear that two disabled parking cars came in with male drivers swearing at an innocent female leaving the site around 1pm.

Shameful and abuse as far as I’m concerned possibly not visitors so if regulars and you wish to attend again beware, we will not tolerate this at a family car boot sale. Unfortunately, we didn’t know this until last evening otherwise we would have acted immediately and asked you to leave. At Pendeen we protect our sellers and buyers there are no gimmicks just a normal family car boot sale that has run with high praise since day one. Our Volunteers are highly praised in running such a smooth sale.

Yesterday was a bonus in staying so dry with forecasts against us and having had £434.82 donated from 1pm to our local hospital a remarkable amount THANK YOU. THANKYOU to Mary, Freda, John, Di and Geoff for holding the buckets.

It's unfortunate when folk think they know best and comment on something they know nothing about and stand to be corrected and worse still when a comment is anonymous and slander, I wouldn’t want to be an administrator of that page if proceedings are taken further.

Understand the tractor wheel has been fitted so now I can mow the site and get it back to its prestige condition for car booting for our next sale hopefully Sunday June 7th HAPPYDAZE 🙂 Thanks Paul’s Photography & Drone Media Group

What a turn out on a day when the forecast 30%,40%,50% chance of rain. You could have sneezed and splattered more than we had. 141 sellers, Thank you for being so brave and hopefully fully rewarded.
The decision to open was taken as the afternoon originally looked good a couple of days ago. But even this morning at 5.15am checking the Met forecast wasn’t sure whether this was going to be a good decision. Karl thought we were doing wrong.
But today paid off brilliantly so pleased for everyone. We kept the sale compact not spread with sellers from all over the Southwest. Easy day for the volunteers and Sandra had new help on the early buyer’s entrance which worked a treat Thank you Denise.
Thank You to all that support Pendeen and making it such a remarkable car boot sale.
Apologies the grass was a bit longer where parking than normal still awaiting the wheel on the tractor to be done.
Next sale Sunday June 7th weather forecast needs to improve. 🤔

As organisers of Pendeen and one of the most reputable car boot sales going.

Karl, Sandra and I plus all the volunteers would prefer if anyone does have a problem at our sales to tell us immediately on the day so we can deal with it. Rather than dwelling on it for a week and then going anonymously on another site causing a right argument between comments which we will not then get involved with. Over the years trading standards have been known to visit regularly, and plain clothes police have attended even ones no longer in the police who advise us when needed. If something is not reported, we can’t deal with it. In this case the proof is there and no wrongdoing happening. A word between seller and observer might have been enough otherwise involve us. Regular sellers are there that want Pendeen to continue. A one-off seller can cause problem's because we are unlikely to see them again and then we can do very little. At Pendeen we act to protect our sellers just as we want to protect all the buyers that visit.

Pendeen opens on Sunday as normal. 🙂

Sunday May 24th donations amounted to £512.81 THANK YOU. With Thanks to Rob, Jill, John, Di, Michael & Cynthia.
Bank Holiday Monday £246.79 THANK YOU.
With Thanks to John & Pat, Christine, Michael & Cynthia. £3,444.11 so far this season.

At Pendeen we have never allowed for folk to walk w***y nilly through sellers pitches. Having designated walkways wide enough for emergency vehicles please keep to them. Sellers normally fill their area to prevent this. The guide ropes are not to be used to go under or over. With sellers facing their tables they do not want anyone going behind. This is to protect our sellers from theft and keep our buyers safe no matter what happens at car boot sales elsewhere. There was a complaint on Sunday and the seller was right to prevent it happening, Good for you knowing how our system works.
Thank you to those that are protecting the site so we continue, empty boxes are not to be left anywhere and on leaving the site both Sunday and Monday the fields were pretty much litter free THANK YOU.
Sunday May 31st hope its cooler and dry to continue. 🙂

Thank you to all that came to Pendeen in this heatwave it was over 30 degrees today but a lovely Easterly cooling breeze out in the field. Yesterday not as hot but not the breeze as today. The volunteers what a tremendous asset you all are so proud of you all.

278 sellers Sunday, 126 today B.H.M. a marvellous turn out with one seller today having a buyer buy nearly all his stock for £1,000 with this seller having loads of interest beforehand.

As a family we decided we need to check all bank notes due to so much counterfeit notes in circulation and this weekend even being so busy this was achieved thanks to the detector shown and pen torch which some of you were interested in.

All in all, although very tiring a two-day event for those that so wished to be here. 🙂

Open as normal as we do on a Sunday.THANK YOU FOR THE HUGE SUPPORT GIVEN TODAY 🙂

Could be busy tomorrow Sunday May 24th and Bank Holiday Monday 25th. It's going to be hot so be wary of your dogs in the heat DO NOT LEAVE IN CARS.
Also we do not want sellers to start packing up before 3pm and leaving whilst the crowd is large. PLEASE HAVE THE COURTESY not to LEAVE UNTIL 3.30pm. The 1pm buyers do need as long as possible to get around. Sellers should leave by the lower exit and then there's no congestion by the main entrance. As we are going to clash with beach goers making the most of the sunshine traffic approaching the roundabout to the site could be delayed at the peak time so be patient this happens during the week when we are not even open. Just come an enjoy smile at the volunteers park as they guide you in. If Pendeen is not for you so be it but there are thousands that do and appreciate us continuing. 🙂Photo courtesy of Paul’s Photography & Drone Media Group
