A popular car boot sale has been cancelled because of wet weather forecasts.

Organisers of Lansdown Car Boot Sale near Bath announced that the event will not go ahead as planned on Sunday, September 13, due to rain expected throughout the morning.

The car boot sale attracts buyers and sellers from across the area, including many from Wiltshire.

In a social media post, organisers said: "Unfortunately this weekend Lansdown Car Boot will be cancelled due to the weather forecast for rain all morning."

The long-running car boot sale is held every Sunday between April and September on Lansdown Lane and has been operating for more than 30 years.



The site opens at 7am for sellers and 7.30am for buyers, attracting bargain hunters and traders from across the region.

The cancellation comes just a week after organisers reported a strong turnout at the event.

Following on from last Sunday's sale, they thanked visitors and described it as a "great turnout".

Shoppers and sellers were also excited to spot former Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway who was among those to visit the car boot sale.

The organisers have not announced any further cancellations, with the season due to continue until the last week of September.
