Pozières Flea Market

The Pozières Flea Market: bargain hunting in the Australians' village

Every May 1st, the village of Pozières, located at the heart of the Santerre plateau and the historic Somme battlefield, holds its annual réderie at the village hall. This event takes on a particular resonance in Pozières, a village whose name is forever engraved in the military history of the Great War and particularly in the Australian collective memory.

Pozières, high place of Australian memory

Pozières today houses several monuments and memorial sites of importance. The Australian Memorial at Pozières pays tribute to the Australian soldiers who fell during the fighting. The Mill of Pozières is a memory garden. The Tank Memorial commemorates the first use of tanks in warfare.

The village hall, convivial venue

The organization of the réderie at the village hall offers exhibitors and visitors a sheltered and functional setting.

What can be found

Typical rural Picard réderie, Pozières offers the classic assortment: clothing, toys, crockery, books, knick-knacks, tools, small furniture. Occasionally, objects linked to village history: old postcards, photographs, military history books.

Combining bargain hunting and memory

For bargain hunters who do not yet know Pozières, May 1st is an ideal opportunity to combine a visit to the réderie with a discovery of the village and its memorial sites.
