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 :(

Stonham Barns Thursday and Sunday Car Boots 24th and 27th July 2025, 24th July 2025 to 27th July 2025, 7:00 to 13:00 at Stonham Car Boot, Pettaugh Road, Stonham Aspal (15.6 miles)
Big thanks to everyone on Sunday - Buyers and Sellers for ignoring weather forecasts and enjoying the Car Boot till gone 11 till the skies opened. This week we are expecting good weather on Thursday & Sunday and it should be our best turn out this year on Thursday with School Holidays finally upon us. On any Car Boot days text me on 07817539168 as we always try and open if we can.
On Thursday we finally have the School holidays when we expect lots more sellers & buyers. So come & sell or browse to grab a bargain and support us so we make this a regular event. A big thanks to all the sellers and buyers last Thursday and to all that have supported us. This week should be loads busier as school Summer holidays means the shops, owl sanctuary, campsites, FootGolf/Golf/Crazy Golf & even the dodgems will be open and busy. The Car Boot will be busy too but - come and have a wander round Stonham as there is lots more than just a car boot.
Expecting a big crowd Sunday as usual. Covered stalls are available and offering shade text 07817539168 to reserve one.
If you follow updates on facebook.com/stonhambarnscarboot I announce if we are open on Thursdays/Sundays or just text/call me 0781753968 although the fields have been bone dry and desperately needed this weeks rain.
I do mention this a lot but weather forecasts are consistently wrong so unless you hear that we aren’t opening we will try and open. Plus I often get cancellations on the Saturday for covered stalls - if its weather related - can I suggest you check forecasts Sunday morning, look out the window or text me 07817539168 for an honest appraisal as it’s often perfect at Stonham when raining in Ipswich.
But despite all of this Crowds have been excellent and we aren’t even into Summer yet.
On Thursday - It is £7 for all vehicles to sell at and free for all buyers including free parking. There are no pitch size restrictions and if you are going let as many potential buyers know as we are now at the Summer Holidays when numbers increase. Sellers are there supporting us trying to make this a regular car boot so come and take a look and grab some bargains and help us be here every Thursday. Really need some support from Buyers if you want this to be a regular event. Numbers will be much healthier this week.
On Thursdays & Sundays - 7am onwards is when most people arrive at the Car Boot although we cater for early arrivals and as late as gone 9am (on Thursdays & sometimes Sundays). Looking forwards we are asking sellers to not arrive earlier than 6am on Thursdays but up till gone 9am to set up.
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.
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.
Needing to leave early. It’s only £7 for a car. We have to pay rent for the fields so there really is no excuse not to come and find me or pay the food van. If you see someone packing up, before paying, take their number plate as they won’t be coming back…
New Prices for 2025 are as below:
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. I do charge £8.50 for large cars with pick ups on back. Thursdays all vehicles £7 no space restrictions.
Events run at the same time as the Car Boot so a bigger crowd always expected. The next is The Big Bus Show on 10th August 2025 & we have lots more coming up which I’ll advertise as we get nearer to them. The next Bank Holiday Monday we are open is 25th August 2025 - these are really popular as well.
Come & sell at the Car Boot from only £7 or buy for FREE.
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. ON THURSDAY it’s 6AM for earliest arrivals.
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. 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 Thursdays too.
