Hemswell Antiques and Car Boot

This is a massive car boot/​market. People come from miles and miles to hunt for a bargain or two. You really do need to leave yourself a good couple of hours if you want to see everything, however after a while all the car boot stalls begin to merge into one. The market side has a good range of stalls from clothes and shoes, through to diy goods and confectionary. There are also flea market areas within the outbuildings which make a nice diversion whilst walking around.

This is an old RAF station.
Several antique centres open all week where real bargains can be had. A beautiful coffee shop in the main one.
Also a big craft centre and several flea market building. All housed in RAF buildings and hangers.
There is a small aviation museum and planes too.
Lots of greasy spoon eateries.
Best on a Sunday when it has a huge car boot and market. I have bought Victorian pen and inks for approx £3 and sold them for £90. Lot’s of books and well anything. furniture, clothes, plants. It is HUGE!
Ghosts:
My father and I looked around an old hanger with ex RAF furniture and equipment for sale. All the time we were in there a phone was ringing. It was annoying and my father declared he wished someone would answer it.
Later he read that the hanger was haunted by a phone constantly ringing and that there was no phone in the building!
Others:
Two ghosts have been reported at this former World War Two
airbase. A pilot who crash landed runs down the runway with his clothes on fire, while an engineer who lost his arm in machinery staggers around screaming.
A ghostly rendition of the Missouri Waltz is also reported.
