AUCTION DIARY 2021
As the auctioneers are compelled by the imposition of Government and Local Authority restrictions to delete or change fixtures and formats from traditional 'Live' to 'On-Line' derivatives, and then either reverse or re-impose their lockdown on the obedient sectors of the economy, we will attempt to continually update the following auction calendar from one day to the next with the very latest intel.
Until further notice therefore, best advice for prospective vendors, bidders and voyeurs has to be to pre-surf the various house websites for their most up to date intentions, and not pay for any more tickets, travel or accomodation for sales within events that might not be allowed to happen as a result of a progressively liberating 'Road Map' being overtaken by more cautious Sage data indicating further strains of virus and third or more waves of infection with newly imposed national or regional lockdowns.

Only efficient vaccine roll-out without further delays may provide some much needed light at the end of what could be a very long tunnel indeed. Check with the auctioneers that even rescheduled sales are definitely going ahead, before incurring travelling costs. For even socially-distanced viewing by appointment arrangements have had to be further modified to comply with newly imposed national or locally-tiered restrictions as 'ALL lives matter', of course.
