Art Car Boot Fair
Art Car Boot Fair is returning as part of Baltic’s Summer Sizzler, bringing together work by artists and makers from across the North and beyond.
Presenting a wide range of affordable artworks, the fair is a perfect opportunity for anyone interested in art to purchase new and unique works, meet the artists and soak up the atmosphere. There’ll be music too alongside food and drink stalls.

Disabled parking
Our disabled parking spaces by the side of our building on Southshore Road will be available, but as we expect a high number of visitors, these may be in limited availability.
The next nearest car park with disabled spaces is Quarryfield Road Car Park, which is approximately an 8-minute walk away.
While we can't guarantee a space, we recommend arriving early for the best chance to secure one. Baltic's building opens at 10am so you are welcome to come in, explore our free entry exhibitions, and enjoy a drink or bite in Baltic Kitchen before heading to the Art Car Boot Fair at 11am.
