Those to benefit from the fundraising this year will be Yatton Keynell Luncheon Club on March 19; Castle Combe Colts on April 23; the Friends of Luckington School on May 21; Castle Combe Village Hall on June 18; Yatton Keynell Brownies on July 9; the, Friends of Bybrook School on August 20; Sheldon School, Chippenham, PTA on September 10 and Yatton Keynell under-fives toddler group on October 15. The charities apply for support and are chosen in a draw by a committee as part of the circuit's Good Neighbour policy.

The car boot sale is one of the largest of its kind in the south west.

The sales run from 8am-2pm, with sellers' cars charged £8, vans £10 and large vans £25 for a pitch to impress thousands of buyers.
