Forty-one Yateley front gardens and driveways become jumble stalls from 12pm to 4pm on Saturday 26 September. The organisers have now published the trail map.
Front gardens and driveways across Yateley become jumble stalls for four hours on Saturday. The Great Yateley Jumble Trail runs from 12pm to 4pm on Saturday 26 September, with 41 houses selling unwanted household things from their own front gardens, and a published map to find them by.
The organisers put the idea in one line in their announcement: “Instead of everyone travelling to one traditional jumble sale, Yateley itself becomes the jumble trail.”
How it works
Residents taking part set up in their front garden, on their driveway or in another suitable privately owned space, and the town becomes a circuit of small stalls rather than a single room of trestle tables.
The trail map is now out. The organisers have published a numbered list of the 41 taking-part houses, each with its postcode and a line on what that stall will have, alongside a live map you can open on your phone. Both are on the organisers’ Facebook page, The Great Yateley Jumble Trail. They describe the map as an area guide rather than a precise route, and point out that some roads have more than one house taking part.
The stock is whatever people have. The organisers list toys, books, clothes, homeware and collectables, and say that “every stall is different”, which is the point of the thing: “part of the fun is never knowing what bargain might be waiting around the next corner.”
Where the stalls are
The 41 stalls are spread across 28 roads, almost all of them in the GU46 6 and GU46 7 postcodes either side of Reading Road. West Green has four, the most of any road; Farm View and Village Way have three each; Connaught Close, Cranford Park Drive, Mill Lane, Moulsham Lane, Throgmorton Road and Wordsworth Avenue have two apiece. The rest are single houses on Bartons Drive, Beaver Lane, Byways, Farm Close, Fieldfare Avenue, Firglen Drive, Greenleas Close, Gregory Drive, Harvest Close, Holbeche Close, Kingfisher Drive, Lawford Crescent, Maple Gardens, Merron Close, Moulsham Copse Lane, North Fryerne, Potley Hill Road, West Fryerne and Woodlands.
The map gives each house a line on its stock, and it is not all children’s clothes. Two houses are selling local honey, one of them subject to availability. There are hand-knitted baby hats on West Green, handmade paper and greeting cards on Fieldfare Avenue, handmade children’s bracelets on Merron Close, diamond art canvases on Village Way, and vintage bits and tools on Mill Lane.
The organisers ask visitors to walk where they can, to use the local car parks rather than the trail’s own streets, and not to block driveways, pavements or access for emergency vehicles. Bring cash: these are household stalls, not shops.
Why a trail rather than a jumble sale
The event was, in the organisers’ words, “created and designed to bring the community together to resell, reuse and recycle unwanted household items”. They pitch it as three things at once: an afternoon of “bargain hunting, neighbourly fun and sustainable shopping” for visitors, a chance for householders to clear some space and make a little extra money, and a way to “give their unwanted belongings a new lease of life rather than throwing usable items away”.
What it means for you
If you are going as a buyer, the useful thing to know is that this is a walking afternoon, not a single destination. The stalls are spread across the town on private front gardens and driveways, they are open for four hours only, and cash is the obvious thing to have on you. Take a bag.
There is a hard number behind the organisers’ reuse argument. Getting a single bulky item taken away by Hart District Council costs £50, and the price per item goes up rather than down as you add more: two items are £64. The full rates, and what the council refuses to take at all, are in our guide to bin collection days across the Fleet area. Anything that sells on Saturday is an item off that bill.

Frequently asked questions
When is The Great Yateley Jumble Trail?
Saturday 26 September 2026, from 12pm to 4pm. It is one afternoon only.
Where are the stalls?
There is no single venue. The 41 stalls sit on residents’ own front gardens and driveways across 28 roads, so you walk between them. The organisers have published the trail map, with every address, postcode and a note on what each stall is selling.
What will be on sale?
Household things people no longer want. The organisers list toys, books, clothes, homeware and collectables, and say every stall is different.
Can I still run a stall?
No. Registration has closed. The organisers shut it before the event to give themselves time to produce the map and finalise arrangements with the stallholders, and say residents were given four weeks to sign up. If this first trail goes well they intend to run it again in May and September 2027, and will announce that on their Facebook page.
Where these details come from
The organisers sent us their announcement on Monday 21 September and the trail map, the poster and the stallholder position on Tuesday 22 September. The stall count, the roads, the postcodes and the stock descriptions above are taken from that map. The bulky waste charges are Hart District Council’s own published rates.
Updated 22 September: the trail map has been published, so this article now carries the stall count, the roads and the live map link. An earlier version said the organisers had not stated whether stallholders could still register; registration has since been confirmed as closed, and the passage inviting residents to sign up has been removed. The main photograph, which showed Darby Green, has been replaced with one of West Green, a road on the trail.
If you are running a stall on the trail, or you organise something else in Yateley that people should know about, tell us and we will cover it.
