East Dulwich-wide Yard Sales?

[alexisgood]

Hi, I'm new to the area but in previous boroughs there were often pre-arranged dates for area-wide yard sales, i.e. a weekend with those with bits to sell open their front or back garden to sell to neighbours and so you can do a little trail of houses in the area and shop people's odds and ends/paint tins/kids clothes/baked goods and the like - anything like this in ED? Thanks! Alex

I quite like this idea, as I often have items to dispose of & it means that I could focus on doing a yard sale on a particular weekend, rather than just 'sometime soon'

However, it would need someone to loosely organise it and I don't have any free time atm.

Somebody did try to start something like this a few years back, but to the best of my knowledge it never happened.

It was called something like a jumble trail.

It was originally publicised on here, does anybody else remember more?

[alexisgood]

Yes, I wonder why it didn't work. When I was in Walthamstow there were a lot of very active community Facebook groups for selling/giving away items, the events were publicised well on FB through event notifications etc.

Time and mind sets have changed.....so people are down sizing or just freeing up space in their homes......so the Jumble trail is the method being used at the moment .....It's good ,If you want to champion it in your area ....get in touch on line

They take away most of the work.....Try it......a good community project, without the trappings of going to a car boot or the like

My son is doing one this Saturday - a toy sale outside 3 Matham Grove, just off Lordship Lane near the co-op. 2-5pm

Come along, for toys, football cards and books! All at budget prices!

There are several local jumble trails in the area including this one in Peckham http://www.jumbletrail.com/event/SE152017. Plus we have our own Dulwich Festival this month during which local artists open their homes to visitors.

Edited: not suggesting art works are jumble, it's just a similar nice neighbourhood vibe!

I had a yard sale once and it was fun, my neighbours joined in

i'd be up for this if was in july, weekends area bit busy till then. (i could ask the neighbours again too)

[pearsonville]

July sounds about right for me, perhaps keep this thread going and see who else joins...?

We're in Crawthew Grove.

There's one in West Norwood on Sunday 2 July - so don't choose that day! Details at:

www.jumbletrail.com/event/SE27WESTNORWOODJULY17

This is not where I live - I was just sent the ad, but it might give you an idea exactly how it works.

Good luck!

[lighthouse2]

I can't believe it's July already!

Is anyone else still interested in a coordinated jumble/art/yard sale (with or without FB etc)?

I could make the afternoon of 15th July, or all day 22nd and 29th

[alexisgood]

Into it if people are interested! All of those dates suit me.

Hi

Despite my good intentions, I've had too much on to get organised

If anyone is interested in holding a yard sale in September let me know which dates are good for you, & I'll register the most popular date on jumble trail, & put a post in the "what's on" section

(Not 2nd Sept as I think that's the date for Peckham Rye Fete)

Best wishes (& happy sorting!)
