More than 1,000 people rummaged through around 160 car booters' wares. Despite the afternoon downpour, £12,000 was raised to support the ChildLine Schools Service.
Anna Keir, NSPCC community fundraising manager, thanked the organising committee, booters and visitors for the success,
She said: "Volunteers from the ChildLine Schools Service will be visiting every primary school across the UK over the next two years to educate children between the ages of nine and 11 about abuse, how to protect themselves and how to seek help if they need it."
