Stowupland is a large village just outside Stowmarket with good road and rail links.  Stowupland has a petrol station with a small shop, a post office, two public houses, two butcher's shops and a Chinese take away.  The two village churches, Holy Trinity and United Reformed Church, and the two village schools are all situated on Church Road.

Stowupland has a village hall and a church hall, both of which are very well used for a variety of functions/meetings.  A recently constructed children's play park is located at the rear of the village hall on Church Road. The very large village green in the centre, Thorney Green, includes a football pitch and an area set aside for the 'half a mow' scheme.  It has also recently been agreed that an area of the Green will be available for planting trees in memorial of parishioners that have passed away. 

In November 2004 District Councilor Ivan Lockett presented Roger Carter (chairman of Stowupland Parish Council) with the Phillip Watson trophy for the most improved village in the Village of the Year competition.  Judges were particularly impressed with Telstar, the bowls green and the good community spirit.
