Whilst many people are still tucked up in bed on Sunday, dozens of traders and punters are up earlier than the rooster, heading to Cherry Tree car boot on Barsham Road, near Fakenham, with the gates opening at 7am.

But what brings traders out this early on Sunday?

One trader is Gary, who didn’t wish to give his second name. The Manchester-born, Marham resident was there with his wife.

"It's only the second time we've been here, and it's quite different from anything we've done before," he said.

"We're actually selling pretty much everything from our home, as we are hoping to go travelling around the world."

The array of items on sale could give a shopping centre a run for its money. With everything from vinyl to plants, power tools, to second-hand clothes.

Another seller was Sheena Newstead from Wells. She was at her first ever car boot, encouraged to give selling a go, rather than giving it straight to a charity shop.

"Possibly the cost of living played an effect on coming here," she said. "It's going okay so far, but still early."

Another trader who did not wish to be named was also a Cherry Tree debutant.

"We were just having a clear out, and the car boot offers something to do, a cup of tea, and a chat with people, you meet some real characters.

"The money we make all helps with the rising cost of everything, but we are also downsizing."

Brian Berry, who runs the car boot, added: "We believe that we have one of the best car boots in Norfolk.

"We are seeing more new faces, both selling and stall holders than ever before.

"We are finding that every week is busy, as long as the sun is out, we know people will come along."
