Bargain hunters set to flock to Bilton on Sunday
Bilton jumble trail will take place for the second time on Sunday.
Last year's inaugural event saw residents sell items from their drives and garages, similar to American yard sales.
Car boot sale fanatic Dave Matthews, a former taxi driver and property developer, came up with the idea.
He hopes it will foster community spirit — and give people the chance to bag a bargain.
Mr Matthews, who has created an interactive map revealing which locations are participating, said about 40 addresses were taking part this year.
The map is available on the Bilton jumble trail Facebook group, which has over 800 members.
The event was blighted by rain last year but looks set to be blessed with better weather this time.
Mr Matthews said:
"It was really good last year even with the rain so hopefully will be even better this time.
"This time we've also got the Fountains Avenue Scout hut open with multiple sellers, refreshments and a raffle."
