How the Auction Works.
Our auction has two stages, giving you the chance to bid online before the Gala or in person on the night.
1. Pre-Gala Blind Bidding – Online
Submit a confidential advance bid through our website. Bids remain private and won't be shared with other bidders.
2. Silent Auction – Gala Night
At the Gala on Friday 20 November, guests can view the lots and place bids in person. Each lot starts at its advertised reserve price, giving everyone a fair opportunity to take part.
Final Bidding – 10pm
At 10pm, advance bids will be compared with bids received on the night. Where an advance bidder has been narrowly outbid, they may be offered one final opportunity to increase their bid.
You don't need to attend the Gala to win. Full details of the bidding process are available in our Auction Terms & Conditions.
