🛍 Nearly New Sale - King's House, Bedford
Saturday 11 October 2025
Time: 12:30 - 14:00 Price: £2.00
🛍 Find bargains on baby & children's clothes, toys & more. Shop sustainably, help the planet & support parents. Run by our amazing volunteers.
🕛 TIMES & INFORMATION
Our next Nearly New Sale is on Saturday 11th October 2025, 12:30 - 2pm at King's House, MK42 9AZ (12pm entry for NCT members, advance ticket holders from 12:15).
At our NCT Nearly New Sales you will find a wide range of great quality second-hand baby, children, and maternity items, ranging from clothes and shoes to equipment, to toys and games.
ℹ️ If you haven't been to one of our sales before, how does it work?
Items from all sellers will be sorted into categories, giving a department store-style shopping experience, which is unique to the NCT. Buyers will find items conveniently organised by type or size, and there will be tills where they can pay for their shopping all together.
🛍 Buyers
Entry is £2.00 per adult on the door. The venue is large and easily wheelchair and pushchair accessible. Please bring your own bags to put your purchases in after paying. We will provide shopping bags to be used around the sale. We do not permit shopping trolley bags in our sale, unless it forms part of a walking/sitting aid. Shopping trolley bags brought to sale will be tagged and waiting for you at checkout.
Sellers
Seller spots always sell fast and usually sell out well ahead of the sale! New seller registration opens on Monday 25th August. Our seller fee is £8 per 100 items, and all sales are subject to a charitable commission (30%, which is reduced for those helping on the day). Our fees and commission go to supporting NCT activities and services in the local area.
How it works - For sellers, you price and label your items at home and then drop them off at the start of the day. Any unsold items are just collected after the sale. There's no need to worry about displaying or haggling, and no need to stay all day - our team of volunteers will do the rest. All our registered on-the-day helpers and organising team members will benefit from reduced seller commission, as well as early bird shopping at the sale, so if you'd like to get involved please sign up using our registration form or email us at nns.northbeds@nct.org.uk.
Helpers
The event is run by a large team of on-the-day helpers, as well as a small committee. Helping on the day gives you the benefit of early access shopping as well as priority seller booking and reduced commission on any items you're selling - plus it's a great way to meet other local parents! A range of roles will be available during the day. To join us, please sign up by buying a FREE volunteer ticket, or email us at nns.northbeds@nct.org.uk to find out more.

How it works - For sellers, you price and label your items at home and then drop them off at the start of the day. Any unsold items are just collected after the sale. There's no need to worry about displaying or haggling, and no need to stay all day - our team of volunteers will do the rest. All our registered on-the-day helpers and organising team members will benefit from reduced seller commission, as well as early bird shopping at the sale, so if you'd like to get involved please sign up using our registration form or email us at nns.northbeds@nct.org.uk.
Helpers
The event is run by a large team of on-the-day helpers, as well as a small committee. Helping on the day gives you the benefit of early access shopping as well as priority seller booking and reduced commission on any items you're selling - plus it's a great way to meet other local parents! A range of roles will be available during the day. To join us, please sign up by buying a FREE volunteer ticket, or email us at nns.northbeds@nct.org.uk to find out more.
