NCT Maidstone Nearly New Sale

Join the NCT Maidstone Nearly New Sale at Invicta Grammar School for a friendly, sustainable way to buy and sell preloved baby, child and parenting items. This well established local sale has been running for over 20 years and brings together around 50 to 60 sellers with more than 150 shoppers browsing a pop-up shop of clothes, toys, books and equipment arranged in clear categories so you can find what you need without rummaging. The sale is run entirely by volunteers and every purchase helps support local parents and reduce waste.

Shoppers pay £2 per person, payable by cash or card on the door. NCT members get early access at 1:15pm (membership proof required) and pre-purchased Queue Buster tickets allow entry before the general public. The venue offers toilets, baby changing, a feeding cafe serving cakes and drinks, a free car park, step free access and a buggy park. Buses and the train station are within walking distance. Sellers register items online, attach printed tickets and may enter up to 100 items per sale; commission starts at 30% and can be reduced for volunteering. Drop-off and collection are on the sale day (typically drop-off around 10am and collection around 4pm). Follow NCT Maidstone on Facebook and WhatsApp for seller registration, ticket releases and event reminders, or email nns.maidstone@nct.org.uk to get involved as a volunteer.
