123 sellers last Sunday and despite the weather forecast being wrong we had quite a good morning at Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot. A bit lower than normal last week but, this Sundaywe will be packed as we have the Stonham Barns Classic Car Show. This is always a Great day & Stonham's Biggest event so we'll have lots of sellers and loads of buyers. A MUST SELL AT SUNDAY.
So If you want to sell, just turn up on the day and sell from £6 no booking needed. Covered stalls are SOLD OUT.
Sothe Classic Car Showthis Sunday 15th August andKnuckle Busters at the Barnson the 29th August. We will also have Stonham Barns Bank Holiday Monday Car Boot on the 30th August. These will all be even bigger crowds at Stonham to add to the excellent crowd that the Car Boot already has.
Despite the Covid changes we will continue to have selling on one side only but, not have the one way aisles. Please let me know if you would prefer these to remain.
Covered Stalls are available for this Sunday but these do go very quickly as there are only 20. These can be pre-booked on 07817539168 (text to pre-book). These offer some shade to sellers as well as a tabletop. These go really fast so text to reserve any Sunday. Everyone else wishing to sell at Stonham can just turn up on the day from 6.30am until 9am. Most people arrive at 8.
The only bad news is that following additional costs at the Car Boot we have had to increase the pitch prices minimally from £5 to £6 for cars, Cars with trailers £8.50, Small Vans £8.50 and larger vans £12. Covered stalls will now be £12. I hope this is ok with everyone?
Once again you do not need to book to sell at Stonham Barns Sunday Car Boot you just turn up. You don't have to arrive at 6.30am as many don't turn up until 8/8.30am that's just the time we open. I really would prefer it if everyone turned up from 7am onwards as the Car Boot doesn’t liven up until after 8 and we have enough space for everyone.
Again, a big thanks to the majority who followed the distancing and one-way routes and abide by our strict no harassment policy which is why Stonham Barns Car Boot is always such a friendly place to sell and buy at. Back again on Sunday 15th August 2021 &every Sunday until further notice.
Thanks to everyone last year who followed all that I asked.
Sellers will be allowed to enter the field from 5.30am onwards. We don’t really get going till 8am but, we have allowed early entry. Buyers will be allowed at the same time but – please allow me to get everyone into position so you don’t hinder this, thanks 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. Anyone pestering sellers will be advised to leave because we are renowned as being a friendly car boot. If anyone oversteps their mark we will stop buyers entering the field until gone 7am.
My apologies if I appear grumpy first thing : ) it's normally based upon people not parking straight or everyone racing up the field to get in when they need to go one by one and slowly - as I tend to fill up across the field and not row by row or buyers standing behind the vehicle I’m trying to park a seller into.
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.
Last thing – anyone bringing plants. You can if they are home-grown and you have other things as well. Please don’t bring plants only.
