Come and join us for an entertaining and informative evening.  W & H Peacock, auctioneers in Bedford have invited us to attend one of their monthly Auction Insight evenings at their new premises in Bedford – the most modern saleroom in the country.

The plan for the evening is to arrive at 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start when we‘ll be welcomed with a complimentary glass of wine or fruit juice. The visit will begin with a short introduction about W & H Peacock and its history in the town given by one of their specialist auctioneers.

Next, the group will be invited downstairs and given the opportunity to peruse the salerooms Peacocks 2whilst taking part in a light-hearted valuation competition. Guests will be asked to give their opinion of value on a range of items from antique furniture, paintings, silverware, ceramics, collectables through to ex-retail products, items of machinery, household effects and many other interesting items which are included in either their Monthly Antiques & Collectors’ Items Sale or one of their Weekly General Sales.

On completion of your estimates we will head back up to the auction centre café where a two course meal with tea or coffee will be served whilst they mark the competition and discuss some of the items in the sale. There will even be a prize for the winner with the highest score!

The evening will conclude with the opportunity for a short question and answer session with the Auction team.
