Hoping to be in UK May 6th to June 9th, staying in North Yorks, Hull and West Yorkshire.
Any bike swap meets, car boots etc around those dates ?
Searching on line is hopeless.

Baz, you could do a lot worse than spend about 10USD on a digital-only subscription for 6 monthly issues of Old Bike Mart (OBM). It’s a good magazine anyway but in particular always carries a good selection of adverts/listings for forthcoming UK events.
To start off your list I note that there is an Auto & Bike jumble at the Yorkshire Event Centre scheduled for May 21st, also the Rufforth Autojumble near York which takes place on the first Saturday of every month.
Beaulieu spring Autojumble 14/15 may - although this is on the south coast
It’s a big jumble - approx 2/3 of the size of the autumn affair & is a mix of auto & bike - but mostly car - putting that aside - it’s a great couple of days surrounded by rusty rubbish
Newark is on 5 June - it’s hit & miss &!an increasing amount of non auto/ bike stuff there
Advantage is is up north & not far from where you are staying
I can't help with the Jumbles and Meets as I'm not allowed out very often.
We're in Goldthorpe, so should be in your range.
Hi Mark.
About 100 years ago I used to deliver soft drinks around Goldie, and Grimy and Barnsley area'
Drink T&P Table waters.
Best Wishes All, for Christmas and New Year.
Definitely going there Woody. I never miss York, Scarboro or Whitby on a trip to Uk.
I'll shoot an email closer to the date.
BTW, Sherburn is another of my old stamping grounds from 100 years ago. I used to drive old buses from Bristol to Sherburn and we stripped them for salvage. It was an old WW2 airstrip. Interesting (if you are interested in useless info!) We were given 11 quid to get a train to Bristol and drive a bus back. That would have been about 1959 ish. Happy days.
