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.

Events this Month

Stonham Barns Thursday & Sunday Car Boot and Saxon & Viking Show on 5th, 8th September 2024, 5th September 2024 to 8th September 2024, 7:00 to 13:00 at Stonham Car Boot, Pettaugh Road, Stonham Aspal (16.2 miles)

Stonham Barns Thursday & Sunday Car Boot + Saxon and Viking Show 5th and 8th September 2024

Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot - Great numbers on Sunday with 170 + sellers and this Sunday we have The Saxon & Viking Show so expecting another great crowd Sunday plus we have 5 Sundays in a row with Shows on as well as the Car Boot. First though we have

Thursday 5th September 2024 Stonham Barns Thursday Car Boot - BUYERS NEEDED
7am onwards (although you can start earlier + after 9am for sellers too) – Great numbers last week and a much better buying crowd. Expecting the same on Thursday as we are getting bigger each week. We continue to get good numbers of sellers and it’s great to see more and more buyers each week.

A big thanks to the continued support from sellers and buyers we are getting who are determined to make this a regular weekly event. There isn’t a Thursday Car Boot anywhere near in Suffolk and slowly the public are realising we have a car boot every Thursday and it’s becoming popular as you can’t beat the atmosphere at Stonham. So, if you want a Thursday Car Boot please keep supporting us by turning up.

To sell on the Thursday all vehicles pay £6 to sell.

Sunday 8th September Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot Plus The Saxon & Viking Show
More good weather and we have an amazing run of shows running at the same time as the car boot starting this Sunday with The Saxon & Viking Show. This is normally a popular event although we are getting great crowds every week now anyway.

Covered stalls are available for any Sunday plus Bank Holiday Mondays - they offer a guaranteed spot on the main field close to food and toilets, have an overhead cover plus a table-top and are only £12. Text 07817539168 to reserve one, Everyone else can just turn up on the day. No booking needed just turn up and sell from £6.

Events at Stonham
Events run at the same time as the Car Boot so a bigger crowd always expected. The next is The Saxon & Viking Show on 8th September followed by The American Car Show on the 15th September followed by The Autumn Craft Market on the 22nd September followed by Swedefest on the 29th September followed by The Land Rover Show on 6th October.

We are the best priced & still the friendliest Car Boot in Suffolk so come & sell from only £6 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.

Just turn up and sell from £6 no booking needed, Covered stalls are available to reserve for any Sunday/Bank Holiday Monday (but not Thursdays (to start with)) by texting 07817539168 and we also have great news for Sellers/Buyers at Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot as we 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.

Prices have remained the same with selling at £6 for cars. Big cars are charged at £8.50, Cars with trailers £8.50, Small Vans £8.50 and Large Vans £12, Vans with trailers or Big Cars with trailers are also £12. Cars with big trailers are also £12. There is NO NEED TO BOOK. Covered Stalls are available for every Sunday/Bank Holiday Monday but these do go very quickly as there are only 20. These ONLY can be pre-booked on 07817539168 (text to pre-book). These offer some shade to sellers as well as a tabletop & protection against wind & rain. These are on the main field and you pull in behind them, set up and sell and pack up and leave at the end of the day. They also guarantee a main field position near to toilets and Drinks/Food.

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 this year Thursdays too.
