Our first event was so popular we thought we’d visit the Auction House again for another opportunity for you to see inside this busy working auction house. You can also enjoy a welcoming glass of wine or fruit juice and a light-hearted valuation competition, followed by a two course meal with tea or coffee. The evening will conclude with prize giving for the competition winner and a question and answer session with the auction team.
