The season for car boot sales has arrived and the locations are slowly reopening due to the government roadmap that is no longer locked.
Last year there was a very late start due to the introduction of coronavirus and some sales never had a chance to open.
Despite the loosening of lockdown restrictions, health and safety measures remain in place to reduce the spread of the virus.
Social distancing, hand washing, and disposable systems are used at events across the county.
The listings below also include locations just across the border near Surrey, including some in Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Sussex.
