Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot on 20th October
Stonham Barns Car Boot – Pretty cold last Sunday but a good turn out for this time of year. Looking warmer this Sunday so expecting a good turn out. No booking as usual just turn up and sell from £6. Still getting a great number of sellers so come & grab a bargain.
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.
Come & have a sell from only £6 – we get lots of buyers and collectors so always a great place to sell at. I know it’s October but lot of sellers every Sunday and possibly only 2 left this month.
Thursday Car Boot
I have decided to stop for the year and start again in 2025. We’ve had some great crowds and lots of dedicated sellers eager to make the Thursday work. We go again next year and we’ll advertise even more. 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 next 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 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.
Something I feel I need to respond to was a comment online when someone asked about the Car Boot. Someone responded saying that things were stolen there. The 6 people that were doing this were caught and have not returned since – that’s the first case we’ve generally had this year and I would categorically say that Stonham Barns Car Boot is probably the place where this happens a lot less than every other Car Boot in Suffolk. It was the talk of the car boot because it doesn’t happen at Stonham.
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.
