For two years Clare Craft Markets have earned themselves a fantastic reputation. Everything that is sold at our craft markets is handmade by the person who is selling and we attract stallholders from across East Anglia selling a stunning range of items including ceramics, original art work, papercrafts, felting, hand made candles, silver jewellery and lots more.
Just in time for the autumn months, Clare now has a regular Badminton Club in the Town Hall on Wednesdays, 6-8pm. Talk to Graham and Dee at Honey Hill cafe, or just turn up when you see the sign outside and have a go!
CHOC is pleased to announce that we received a Lottery Grant in 2016 of £10,000. This grant was for electrical work in the Town Hall, including improved lighting, and LED throughout. This grant also contributed to the cost of new stacking chairs In the Old School Community Centre.

Auction starts at 11:00 sharp.
The market town of Clare, Suffolk has a tradition of a regular auction that reaches back hundreds of years. For the last 30 years the auctions at Clare have specialised in antiques, collectables and general effects, and we are delighted to continue this long held tradition.
Clare Auction has a new, more dealer focused approach to auction trading. Unlike other auction houses, at Clare Auction your vendor fee is fixed based on the estimate or reserve price, so you get 100% of the sale price however high the bidding goes
At Clare Auction we have also made the buyer’s premium attractive to trade buyers so that you can be confident to buy the stock you want and still be safe in the knowledge that your retail margins are preserved
