Hesdin's street sale, Le Touquet's covered flea market, the Warloy-Baillon rederie: ten flea markets and antique fairs picked across Hauts-de-France for 8-9 August 2026.
Flea markets and antique fairs in Hauts-de-France this weekend, 8-9 August 2026, span the Aisne countryside, the Pas-de-Calais coast and the Somme bay. Our pick of the weekend: the Woignarue firefighters' brocante, a modest thirty-stall event run by volunteers rather than a shopkeepers' committee. Why chase the big-name street sales when a village fire brigade throws just as good a treasure hunt? From Le Touquet's covered market hall to the Warloy-Baillon rederie, ten events fill these two days between inland market towns and Opal Coast resorts.
Hesdin Street Sale: bargain hunting in a Pas-de-Calais sub-prefecture
The Hesdin street sale takes over the town centre on Sunday 9 August 2026, in this sub-prefecture tucked into the Canche valley. Shopkeepers, dealers and private sellers spread across Place d'Armes and the surrounding streets for a full day of discounted goods. It's one of the few true street sales in our weekend line-up, shop windows spilling onto the pavement alongside classic secondhand stalls.
Les Puces du Touquet: the covered antique fair that outlasts the resort shops
A monthly fixture, Les Puces du Touquet returns on Sunday 9 August 2026 at 31 rue Jean Monnet. Around forty dealers and antique specialists set out period furniture, art objects and curiosities, a sharper focus than most flea markets on this list, fitting for a smart Pas-de-Calais seaside resort. Unlike the open-air brocantes along the coast, this one runs indoors, handy if the Opal Coast weather turns.
Warloy-Baillon Summer Rederie: 140 stalls in the Somme countryside
Every second Sunday of August, the Warloy-Baillon local events committee runs one of the area's biggest rederies: roughly 140 stalls set up along the village streets on 9 August 2026. A chip stand, a bar, a kids' carousel and fairground rides round out a morning of bargain-hunting in this Somme village, organised by M. Ducorroy and his team.
Oisemont Super Brocante: the Vimeu district's biggest date
Set for Saturday 8 August 2026 (08/08/2026), the Oisemont super brocante turns the historic town's streets and squares into one long treasure trail. Private sellers and professionals gather here every early August, in this part-farming, part-industrial corner of the Somme known for its locksmithing trade. It's one of the rare Saturday dates on our list, for anyone keen to beat Sunday's crowds.
Ault Brocante: bargains between chalk cliffs and Belle Époque façades
The Ault brocante fills rues Saint-Valéry, Paris and Calais on Sunday 9 August 2026, right in the centre of this Côte Picarde resort. Sellers and professionals set up facing the Channel, against a backdrop of Belle Époque architecture, a short walk from the chalk cliffs and pebble beach.
Brocante du Portel: summer bargain-hunting on the Opal Coast
A short hop from Boulogne-sur-Mer, the Portel brocante runs on 9 August 2026 at the height of the tourist season. Bargain hunters and holidaymakers browse stalls of clothing, trinkets and seaside souvenirs in this popular Pas-de-Calais resort town, the beach a few steps away setting the tone.
Les Puces de Garden in Merlimont: between the beach and the dunes
The Garden-Merlimont Plage seafront district hosts Les Puces de Garden on 9 August 2026, a summer flea market right on the water. The holiday mood, sandwiched between beach and dunes, makes it a natural pairing with the Portel sale a few kilometres down the same coastline, a compact stop built for a browse between swims rather than a full afternoon out.
Brocante de Chouy: the Aisne village's big summer draw
Chouy's Foyer Rural association runs its brocante every August, on the village football pitch and church square. On 9 August 2026, between 100 and 200 sellers, private and professional, are expected from 7:30am to 5pm, paying €1 per linear metre for their pitch. Free entry for visitors, with food, drinks and toilets on site, one of the best-stocked venues on this list for sheer number of stalls.
Woignarue Firefighters' Brocante: bargain hunting for a good cause
The Woignarue volunteer fire brigade association runs a brocante on rue de la Mairie gathering around thirty sellers on 9 August 2026. This small village on the Picardy hinterland, a stone's throw from Cayeux-sur-Mer and the Hâble d'Ault, keeps things compact and community-minded, far from the coast's bigger crowds. Browsing here supports volunteer firefighters directly, a different kind of bargain hunt than the shopkeeper-driven street sales in town.
Saint-Omer Table Tennis Club Brocante: community spirit in the Audomarois
Saint-Omer's table tennis club runs its own brocante on 9 August 2026, where bargain hunters pick through secondhand goods and trinkets while supporting the club's sports programme. A small-scale, community-run event, typical of the brocantes organised by local sports clubs rather than town councils or events committees.
More things to do this weekend
Between a town-centre street sale, a Somme rederie and a run of coastal brocantes, this 8-9 August 2026 selection shows just how varied Hauts-de-France flea markets get, even in a quieter week for the region. Looking beyond the region? Check the full weekend agenda.
