A jumble trail is a wonderful way for local residents to sell or buy items, craft-work, homemade food etc from outside our homes. Put it in your diary now.
- Households set up shop in their front gardens to clear out their homes and make some money.
- Buyers can stroll around, picking up some bargains and treats.
- Everyone gets to meet their neighbours and build a stronger community.
- We raise money for local good causes.
- We reuse items rather than throwing them away
The Queens Boundary Community (QBC) Jumble Trails are always fabulous days. At the last one in 2022 we raised over £230 for local events. Come enjoy this year’s event.
Advice for stallholders
On the day:
- Set up a stall outside your home: put out a table, boxes, clothes rail etc
You will need a garden or outdoor area that you are allowed to use without obstruction to pedestrians. - Bring out all of the items that you want to Bring sell.
- Decide on the price of each item.
- Have fun selling and chatting to neighbours.
- Tidy up and pack everything away.
- Bring good quality items to St Barnabas Church by 5pm for collection by the charity Mind.
