Are boat jumbles still a thing?

[DoubleEnder]

I sold my boat last year, and have disposed of most of the associated stuff: dinghy, outboard, charts etc etc.
I will not have another boat for at least a couple of years; if and when I do it will not be like NYACHILWA.
Clearing the garage I have quite a lot of chandlery: blocks, shackles, piston hanks, cleats, fairleads bla bla bla. I think it would be a royal pain in the neck to advertise it all, itemised, here, as well as the associated trauma of packing and posting a load of little things at a few quid each. But maybe I will do that. If I have to.....

However, it occurred to me that I could have a lovely day out at a boat jumble! Sell it all cheaply by 10am and then hit the burger stand, buy myself a cracked kayak with the proceeds and head off home happy.

But Beaulieu is no more, and that was my only experience. I live in Kent, but the Solent or S Coast would be ok - if boat jumbles are still a thing worth going to? Any views?

Good Luck with making some money & enjoy that burger (or two).

The last one I went to - quite some time ago- was a very sad affair!

I am told that the Tichfield one is still vibrant. Not been there myself but yesterday was talking to a chap who was a regular buyer there.

Has Beaulieu gone for good or has it just not reappeared after Covid yet? It'll be sad if it has gone!

I think Beaulieu has gone for good, I think it went before the Covid stuff. Netley (Hamble) so provides good day out with lot of stalls but I haven’t personally amended for several years so can’ ii’s still buoyant/vibrant.nowadays.
