Episode Description
Emma Pattinson takes us behind the scenes of the Shepperton Car Boot, a beloved local fixture that’s been running for 24 years and counting. We chat about how she transformed a family land problem into a vibrant community event that’s all about recycling and finding hidden treasures. From the early days of setting up stalls in spirals to attract more buyers to the well-organised system they have now, Emma shares how hard work and a love for the community keep this event thriving. She emphasises that it’s not just about making a quick buck but creating a friendly space where people can find affordable items and connect with one another. Plus, there's a sprinkle of humor as she shares some of the quirky items and experiences that have popped up over the years. So, if you've been thinking about decluttering or hunting for treasures, tune in for some fun tips and a peek into this local gem!
