Auction Viewing


Viewing is available in the shop during the week preceding the auction; at the venue on the evening of the sale from 5:45, or by appointment. Sorry, there is no shop viewing on the day of sale

Shop Opening Hours


Normal shop hours are,- Monday to Saturday 10:30 - 5:00 (always closed on Wednesdays), but please always phone before travelling any distance to ensure that we’re open and that you get the welcome you deserve & expect!

Bring and Buy Sale


Unfortunately the ‘Bring and Buy Sale’ (which runs at the same time as the auction) has had to be cancelled for this sale, it’ll hopefully reappear at the next time. Don’t despair too much, as there’ll still be plenty of material to look through on the ‘Mini-Fair’ tables. Peter’s inimitable ‘organised chaos’ of pages, cards, boxes & the like is always good for a rummage - you never know what you’ll find! David and Margeorie’s tables are somewhat tidier, but also carry many useful ‘gems’, just spend some time browsing.
