Harrogate district set for first jumble trail
Bargain lovers in Bilton are to set to take part in the Harrogate district's first jumble trail.
Jumble trails are a relatively new idea in which residents sell items from their drives and garages. They are similar to American yard sales.
Car boot sale fanatic Dave Matthews, a former taxi driver and property developer, has set up a Facebook group for the first jumble trail, which already has 300 members.
He hopes the event, on October 23 from 11am to 4pm, will foster community spirit and give people the chance to clear out their homes in the run-up to Christmas. Mr Matthews said:
Mr Matthews, who has lived in Bilton since 2019, will create an online and physical map showing the homes taking part in the days leading up to the jumble trail.
He said one person taking part had indicated they would be selling a Lambretta scooter.
Mr Matthews said 40 to 50 homes having stalls would be "a good turnout", adding:
People can either join the Bilton Jumble Trail Facebook group, or email biltonjumbletrail@hotmail.com to book a stall or for more information on the event.
