Haslar Marina has donated the use of its car park for the event, which last year attracted more than 100 stall holders and traders, and welcomed thousands of visitors.

Councillor Kieth Farr, Mayor of Gosport, said: ‘The Boat Jumble is brilliant for Gosport.

‘We have a lot of yachtsman based here and the event gets people from all over the country to visit the town as well.’

Caroline Dinenage, Gosport MP, said: ‘Last year’s Marine Jumble at Haslar was a huge success.

‘We had a great turnout, glorious weather and I know local boat enthusiasts got some great deals at the stalls buying and selling nautical equipment.

‘I very much look forward to this year’s event and I hope that it follows in last year’s footsteps as a great day for Gosport’s maritime community.’

This year, Gosport Marine Scene is offering a limited number of free pitches to local sailing and marine charities and organisations to help support interaction with the local community.

The Boat Jumble is the ideal opportunity for anyone looking to move on their second-hand sailing gear, or any local businesses looking to introduce a new product or service, or if you are seeking to promote your club membership

Bookings for the event are now being taken.
