Selfridges charity-driven Car Boot Sale to return for tenth year

The Women for Women International Car Boot Sale, powered by Selfridges’ second-hand service Reselfridges, returns for its tenth year.

The event will take place at the Selfridges London Car Park on 16 May 2026, with all proceeds, including ticket sales, supporting Women for Women International’s work with women survivors of war.

The annual event, hosted by Alex Eagle and supported by a high-profile network of influencers, comes at a time when many women face conflict, instability and reduced access to aid globally.

Currently, more than 676 million women and girls live within 50 km of deadly conflict. By supporting Women for Women International and its work across 17 conflict-affected countries, funds raised at the Car Boot Sale contribute to women’s recovery, empowerment and participation in peacebuilding.

Visitors can explore a range of new and pre-loved pieces from brands including Jimmy Choo, Alex Eagle, Rixo, Hunza G and Charlotte Tilbury.

"It's difficult to explain the scale - you have to come and see it for yourself. Two floors of the Selfridges car park, completely overflowing with the most amazing finds," said Eagle.

"This is our car boot sale's 10th anniversary but every year people are still blown away by the pieces they find. It's up to 70% off and every penny helps women and girls who have lived through conflict. It's something everyone involved is so proud of and all our guests who come and shop should be proud too.

"Women for Women International is helping women transform their lives and communities with every pound you spend."

Last year, the Car Boot Sale featured 36 car boots, raising over £415,000 in a single day and bringing the total raised since 2016 to more than £2.2 million to support women survivors of war.

Sara Bowcutt, UK Managing Director of Women for Women International, said: "Back in 2016, when Alex Eagle brought the idea of a chic car boot sale to us, we had no idea it would raise over £2.2 million in ten years.

"The impact has been completely life-changing for the women and girls we serve worldwide."
