The annual Portsmouth and Southsea Car Boot Sale returns for 2026 at Duisburg Way, offering a wide range of second-hand goods.
The Portsmouth and Southsea Car Boot Sale is back for 2026, returning to Duisburg Way on Sunday 20 September. It's a familiar spot for the city's car boot regulars, and this year's edition keeps to that same Southsea Common location.
For those who haven't been, the format is exactly what you'd expect from a car boot: people turn up with the boots of their cars filled with a mix of things they no longer want, and you spend the morning rooting through it all. It's as much about the hunt as it is about what you actually take home. One table might have old books and kitchenware, the next a pile of toys or a few bits of furniture, and the next again something completely different. It's the kind of place where you can walk away with a bargain you didn't even know you were looking for.
Because it's a car boot, the best stuff tends to go early, so it pays to get there while the tables are still full. It's a good spot for a slow Sunday morning, especially if you're in the mood for a bit of digging. If you're planning to sell, it's a chance to clear out the attic or the garage and let someone else find a use for the things you're finished with.

The sale runs from 7:00 am to 9:00 am at Duisburg Way, Southsea, PO5 3. It's a relatively short window, so if you're after the early-bird finds, you'll want to be there close to the start.
