Whilst our volunteer editors will do their best to ensure our events listings are as up to date and accurate as possible; with the fast pace of how things are changing, it is inevitable that some will slip through the net. If you are planning on travelling for larger events, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly to avoid disappointment. We are putting in place new measures to give event organisers a friendly reminder to see if they wish to remove cancelled events, so we're sorry if it looks a bit bare in here :(
If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for free, professional advice.
Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot on 27th April 2025, 27th April 2025, 7:00 to 13:00 at Stonham Car Boot, Pettaugh Road, Stonham Aspal (22.5 miles)
Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot on 27th April 2025
Great numbers again on Sunday & a good buying crowd. Unfortunately rain from 5am till gone 7am stopped the Bank Holiday Monday Car Boot but it looks like much better weather this Sunday 27th April 2025 and lots of sellers expected as usual so come & sell from £7. 7am onwards is when most people arrive at the Car Boot although we cater for early arrivals and as late as gone 8.30am.
So come & enjoy the special atmosphere at Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot. It’s unlike all other car boots, full of amazing bargains and is the friendliest in Suffolk.
As usual no booking is needed to sell at the Car Boot so just turn up on the day.
Plus Stonham Barns Thursday Car Boots start this year on May 1st 2025
Covered stalls are available for any Sunday/Bank Holiday so text early to book one of the 20. The Covered stalls offer a guaranteed spot on the main field close to food and toilets, have an overhead cover plus a table-top and are only £13. Text 07817539168 to reserve one, Everyone else can just turn up on the day and sell from £7.
New Prices for 2025 are as below:
My apologies but we haven’t increased for years and we are still below all other Suffolk Car Boots. The Gazebos are now charged plus you can choose to take extra space but it means an extra cost - the equivalent of paying as if you have a trailer on the back (or 2 cars space - £10 for a car for example).
Cars £7, Small Vans £8.50 (still), Cars with trailers £10, Small Vans with trailers £11.50, Large Vans £13, Large Vans with Trailers £16, Cars with Gazebos £10, Covered stalls £13, Huge Vans £16.
Events run at the same time as the Car Boot so a bigger crowd always expected. The next is Sunday/Bank Holiday Monday 20th/21st April 2025 and The Dog Obedience Show and we have lots more coming up which I’ll advertise as we get nearer to them. The first Bank Holiday is 21st April (Monday) so we will be open Sunday 20th & Monday 21st April - covered stalls available for both days plus there’s the show on as well on both days. You can book these now.
Come & sell at the Car Boot from only £7 or buy for FREE.
Thursday Car Boot – All sellers £7 (all vehicles). First Thursday Car Boot will be May 1st 2025
We’ve had some great crowds and lots of dedicated sellers eager to make the Thursday work. We go again this year starting May 1st 2025. It takes time to get a new Car Boot to start, which I know very well, having started the Sunday Car Boot some 15 years ago. We will persevere and go again this year. Again we will need the support of everyone that wants a Thursday Car Boot and that’s more the buyers as we have plenty of eager sellers.
We are still the best priced on Sundays & still the friendliest Car Boot in Suffolk so come & sell from only £7 (all vehicles) and still free parking & buying & everyone welcome to just turn up and have a look around as there’s so much to do at Stonham.
I've had a few questions about when we actually start. We always used to start at 8am and most people do still turn up at 8/8.30 but, we do get people arriving stupidly early onwards. So, it's really up to you. 7 onwards is sensible. We have enough space for everyone. Earliest arrival is from 5.30am but most sensible turn up from 7am.
We now have a licence allowing all Plant/Bulb Sellers or in fact any Gardening sellers to sell at the Car Boot. So NO RESTRICTIONS at all with any Gardening items. This is great news as I've had to turn so many people away. This is already bringing in a lot more sellers/buyers to Stonham. So, come and sell every Sunday. We are expecting some of the big plant and bulb sellers to start selling soon.
The Covered stalls are unique - these offer some shade to sellers as well as a tabletop & protection against wind & rain. These guarantee a main field position near to toilets and food/drinks. You pull behind them, set up and sell and pack up and leave at the end of the day.
Everyone else wishing to sell at Stonham can just turn up on the day. We are still the cheapest in Suffolk so you can just turn up from 7am and sell and that’s every Sunday & Bank Holiday Mondays from March to October & now Thursdays too (when open). We are also lucky to benefit from regular events at Stonham where the Car Boot crowd is often doubled & that’s on top of a very big buying crowd.
Everyone loves Stonham as its unbeatable when the weather is good. It has a great atmosphere and a knowledgeable friendly crowd made up of all ages. Families young and old, dog friendly and it caters for the disabled.
We let Buyers in at the same time as sellers but – please allow me to get everyone into position so please don’t hinder this and please don’t stand behind cars whilst they unload. No one is going to jump in and buy before you as it just isn’t that kind of car boot. The reason we have become so popular is because we don’t have people harassing sellers. If anyone oversteps their mark we will stop buyers entering the field until gone 7am.
We are outdoors only but offer covered stalls.
Stonham Barns Car Boot every Sunday & Bank Holiday Mondays and when we start again Thursdays too.
