Car Boots, Driffield Rally and the Maritime Museum


Driffield Steam and Vintage rally is on this weekend, gates open at 10am, with 1000 exhibits, there is an Old Time fair, Vintage engines and plenty of models (the vehicle kind opposed to the female kind) it is a great day out for everyone, if you go on the Sunday, you can combine it with a rummage around the local car boot sales.

A perfect way to spend a Sunday is a rummage around the local Car Boot sales. There are so many to choose from.

North Cave, as you enter from the A63/M62– Sundays 8am- 1pm year round

Walton Street Hull next to the KC Stadium every Wednesday and Sunday 8am- 2pm year round

Walkington at the playing fields the first Sunday of the summer months 7.30am - 12.30pm

Beverley Lions at Beverley Grammar School March – Nov Sunday 7am -1pm


Strawberry Fields, Bridlington Tues/Thurs in summer months 7am – 2pm

Driffield, Kellythorpe Industrial Estate, Sundays open from 8am year round

Flamborough, Danes Wood Farm on B1244, Sundays 8am – 2pm

York Racecourse, Saturdays (unless there is a race meeting) open from 8am.



Don’t let the bad weather spoil your weekend, we are lucky to have so many fantastic things that we can do under cover. The hull museums are surprisingly good (and free), details can be found on the places to go page. The Maritime Museum is excellent, learn about our Whaling history as well as looking at some of the drawings by Victorian Artist Frederick Schultz Smith next to photos of the same scenes now.
