Car boot sale helping charities

Last year's charity boot sale

More than 100 stallholders have taken part in a fund-raising car boot sale held in the grounds of a stately home.

This year's event was in aid of two of the county's charities - Heart of Kent Hospice and Kent Minds.

The sale was being held at Hole Park near Rolvenden on Sunday, and was the fifth to be held in Kent.

Last year, sellers raised more than £20,000 for charity, and attracted more than 5,000 people. Organisers said they hoped to raise more this year.

Spokeswoman Antonia Allfrey said everything from books to candelabra, and kitchenware to fishing tackle would be on sale.

And auction experts would be on hand throughout the day, so people could check the value of their treasures, she added.
