Taking place at Netley Marsh between September 13-14, Netley Marsh is just off the south coast, not far from Southampton, Hants, on the A336 between Cadnam and Totton, and between junctions one and two of the M27.
Thousands of punters will be gathering at the Eurojumble to hunt for bikes and bargains to complete their projects or start new ones over the autumn months.
The Netley treasure trove is filled with motorcycling gold. You can find everything you need and more in one place, from spares and parts, tyres, memorabilia, and tools, to even complete machines. There are also rare parts not typically found on the high streets or anywhere else in the UK. Hundreds of traders will be gathered across the weekend, selling their unwanted parts. The beauty of the Netley Marsh site is that there’s so much room, no potential traders need to be turned away disappointed.
Have you accumulated ‘stuff’ over the years and want to turn some of it into money? Got some bike parts lying around gathering dust? Why not book a Garage Clear-out plot on Saturday from just £20? Make some extra cash while making room for the parts and projects you really want! It works for everyone: traders have access to potential new stock, while sellers clear space out of their garages!
