Speaking ahead of the event, event curator Wayne Hemingway MBE, says: “MediaCity is a perfect location for the first Classic Car Boot Sale North. It has brilliant spaces, an iconic backdrop, and is well connected by public transport and road. It’s a location at the heart of the UK that people, traders and classic vehicle owners can get to from towns and cities across the British Isles.

“The Classic Car Boot Sale is a classic car-lovers’ delight, a vintage shoppers’ dream and a true mecca for the special secondhand items.

The Classic Car Boot Sale is a joyous mix of good designer, preloved second-hand and sustainable fashion, homewares, vinyl and curios selling alongside timeless classic cars and bikes all set to an amazing soundtrack. It’s such an exciting and energising event so get your applications in.”
