Location and Driving Directions
From the M23, the A23, or the A264, follow the signs to the Pease Pottage service station. From the roundabout at junction 11 of the M23, the entrance to the boot sale is about 50 yards along on your left, almost directly opposite the entrance to the service station, and is clearly signposted. If you are thinking of using the service station car park, be warned that it gets very crowded, and you may be liable to a fine if you stay too long.
The main exit from the boot sale is on Parish Lane; to reach the M23, A23 or A264, take the third exit (right) at the roundabout at the top of Parish Lane.
