Two Oxfordshire car boot sales have been cancelled on Sunday due to forecast heavy rain.

Two Oxfordshire car boot sales have been cancelled for Sunday, November 15, due to forecast heavy rain. The Burcot car boot sale at Berinsfield Roundabout and the Witney car boot sale at Ducklington Showground will not take place. Oxfordshire Bootsale and Events Company confirmed the decision in a social media post.

An organiser said the cancellations were to prevent damage to the grounds. "We're not going to do it, we're not going to ruin the ground because the rain is coming in at about 10am over there," they said. The Abingdon car boot sale at Abingdon Barracks will go ahead as planned.

The Met Office has forecast a cold, overcast start across Oxfordshire with temperatures around 2–4°C. Heavy rain is expected from late morning into the afternoon, with most areas including Oxford, Abingdon and Charlbury seeing rain at times. Daytime highs will reach 9–11°C. Rain should ease this evening, though conditions will remain cloudy and damp, with overnight temperatures around 2–4°C.
