Stonham Barns Thursday & Sunday Car Boots & The Big Bus Show 6th and 9th August 2026 at Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot

Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot & The Big Bus Show 9th August 2026

Great turn out Sunday and BUYERS NEEDED FOR THURSDAYS

Back again this THURSDAY - where we expect a good number of sellers and hopefully lots more buyers. There isn’t a Car Boot in Suffolk on a Thursday so please support us if you want there to be one. It’s school holidays - sellers are looking for places to sell so we just need you all to take 15 minutes and have a browse. 7 onwards although we open the gates at 6am - Midweek Car Boots liven up after 8am.

Great turn out last Sunday and expecting a big one this Sunday.

This Sunday 9^th August 2026 we have The Big Bus Showat the same time as the Car Boot and this is extremely popular especially as there are buses to Stonham from Stowmarket station regularly throughout the day. Plus a week later (16^th August) we have The Classic Car Showwhich is Stonham’s biggest show.

Covered stalls are available for £13 and include a guaranteed main field pitch near the toilets and food area. You can park directly behind your stall. They're popular and handy when shade is needed. To book, text 07817 539168. Everyone else just turn up on the day no booking needed.

Covered stalls are sold out for this Sunday (9^th August)

Thursday Car Boot Returns

The Thursday Car Boot reopened on 23rd July and runs until 3rd September. Selling is £7 for all vehicle sizes and no pitch size restrictions. Opening time will be 7am onwards. It livens up after 8am and with the shops opening. As I keep saying there’s always so much interest from the sellers we just need the buyers to show the same and make it a regular event like the Sundays.

A Quick Reminder

Please take cardboard boxes home or flatten them before putting them in the bins. Thank you.
