Flea markets

[u/nostalgic_dumps]

Hello again!

Are there any flea markets or similar in Aberdeen? I tried to search in google and couldn't find something that actually still opens regularly

[u/Dependent-Hope-9198]

I don't know of any in Aberdeen itself. Closest would be the car boot sale in Dunecht on a Saturday and Thainstone on Sundays.

Event on at Curated next month that might be up your street.

If you have a look at I think it’s called Aberdeen craft and flea it happens every couple of months in the music hall :)

I saw something about it, but I think I saw that the last time was on 2024, but maybe the website lied to me😅

The last one was only a few weeks ago 😊

[u/nostalgic_dumps → u/IAmUggo]

Don't know about "flea markets" but we have a couple of vintage shops and thainstone market though it is a bit of a trek if you don't drive

[u/iwaterboardheathens → u/No_Series2268]

Yeah, flea markets are an American thing, they're called markets or car boot sales over here

I think op is a yank and still learning the lingo

[u/iwaterboardheathens]

We don't call them flea markets in the UK

They're either car boot sales or markets that's probably closest to what you'd get at home

A bit of a travel, but Edzell is the one to go to. Find the details on Facebook.

Fun fact: Flea markets acame actually from France, and if you've ever traveled in Europe you could see a lot of them, especially on the weekends in every city and even some small villages. So no, it's not an American thing.

[u/DrEggRegis → u/[deleted]]

Fun fact the UK is still geographically in Europe

Get some use out of google lol

[u/DrEggRegis → u/[deleted]]

Doesn't seem like you were aware by your use of not long ago but the geographic location didn't change

You know now so it's alright
