• What this town need are some decent shops. The market needs a total rethink - how about low-rent market pitches for local residents? There must be glass painters, wood workers & the like who could sell quality stuff & make stow a bit more interesting? A record shop is surely overdue?? And the existing shop staff need compulsory lessons in window dressing so that the stuff they are selling is properly displayed & doesn't always look like a load of crap.
• All the fat chicks.
• Just a word of warning for all those health concious people out there.

• If you are coming to Stow to shop - expect only one shoe shop, one video shop, no town centre fruiterers, no decent clothes shops, no nice little arty/crafty type places. There's one hotel and a plethora of no right turn signs that seem to have no logical reason for their prohibitions.
• Stowmarket wouldn't be that bad if it weren't for half of the population that live here.
• The Snooker club is excellent. Events range from bingo to the occasional gentlemans night. And that doesn't mean old croonies playing snooker!!! There are 8 tables and usually you don't have to book. There is also the Mid Suffolk Leisure Center which has a large swimming pool, gym. sports hall, indoor cliff, squash courts and Arena the pamper palace. It also has an outdoor allweather five aside pitch and tennis courts. It is a bit expensive but the facilities are good.
• This place could be very good if certain issues where addressed. 1) removal into prisons of the Stowmarket Scum (I notice several have already begun to make their way there) 2) improvements on services - clubs, cinemas, shops etc. 3) demolishing cherry tree road and similar areas.
• the lack of nice lads is a tad annoying!
• The sadest thing is that there are practically no web sites, there are two or three, and one of them is the stow health centre.

• Stowmarket is a great town where everybody knows everybody. It has wonderful facilities for entertainment..... namely the PUBS! When I lived there over 12 years ago there were 15 pubs for the population of 8000 people. That's one pub for every 533 drinkers. That's not a bad ratio is it?
• Stowmarket is a little market town in the centre of suffolk UK. There are all the usual facilities to be found in such a place as well as an excellent leisure centre (tel 01449 674980 for more info on this). Stowmarket lies directly off the A14 trunk road which makes access to other parts of the UK easy and fast. We have the ferries sailing to the continent just down the raod in Felixstowe (well 30 miles down the road). London outskirts are 1 hour away down the A12/M11 etc.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
