Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot is on every Sunday from 8am. The next one is Bank Holiday Sunday, August 28th 2016. The Car Boot is always busy & we are expecting warm weather so, be quick with the Covered stalls as they book up each week so text me early with a number plate to reserve one (07817539168). We are now on the big field so there's lots of room and you can just turn up and sell from �£5 (no need to book). When you enter Stonham take the left into the field and wait to be positioned. Events often run at the same time as the Car Boot make sure you check the Events page regularly as we have quite a few good ones this year. See you on Sunday from 8am.

Stonham is the one to go to if you want a great relaxing day without being hassled and able to set up in peace. Each week the buyers will increase dramatically and we are lucky to have ones that actually buy. Stonham is known for its one off sellers and Antiques (as well as all the normal Car Boot items) and after 4 years we are getting a good regular crowd of sellers and buyers. Everyone loves Stonham as its unbeatable when the weather is good. It has a great atmosphere, a knowledgeable friendly crowd made up of all ages. Families, young and old, It's dog friendly and caters for the disabled. You can still sell from Five Pounds right up to Ten Pounds for Covered stalls. These are really a hit with the sellers as you can book by texting 07817539168, pull up behind, set up and sell and pack up and leave at the end of the day. Alternatively, we are still the cheapest in Suffolk so you can just turn up from 8am and sell.

Once we are on the field we allow sellers as much space as they require and you can even bring a gazebo and set up. We allow anyone to sell most things the only restriction we have is with plants whereby we allow small vans/cars selling plants grown from home but, they will need to be part of a variety of things sold. Anyone selling old gardening tools etc. is fine. Call me if unsure. It's just common sense you just need to bring a variety rather than a van full of just flowers.

Something I think is really important and is part of the whole idea of the Traditional Car Boot, is the fact that you can sell without the fear of things being stolen or being pestered whilst setting up. I hear that this is a problem at so many Car Boots but, we are a big family Car Boot.

We are on the Coastal Route & in Summer have the Campsite and Holiday Homes full up and filled with Car Boot lovers. We have a guaranteed extra crowd already there. Plus with all the attractions, Shops, Golf/Fishing, Owl Sanctuary, Serpent House/Pet Shop, Toy Shop, Ladies fashion and so many other things to see and do we are such a great venue for a Car Boot. On top of that we have the big events running in tandem with the Car Boot.

Sellers tend to arrive from 8am onwards (we do allow earlier but, Stonham wakes up after 9am with the shops and attractions also opening at 10am).

We are outdoors only but offer covered stalls. We try to open every week irrespective of the weather as we still get buyers and sellers.
We have been asked to start a Tuesday morning Car Boot and I�m interested to know what everyone thinks. Stonham are getting daily coach trips stopping there and also there isn't one locally on a Tuesday, so far, so your thoughts appreciated. If I get enough interest I will start one. Thoughts from sellers and buyers welcome. Text or email me.
