Attending an event, clarified

Q. Do I need to book in advance?

No — walk-ins are always welcome. Booking simply reserves your time and helps us prepare, so you’re seen promptly.

Just the item itself. No documentation or provenance is required, though any papers, boxes, or certificates you have are welcome.

No. Every valuation at our events is completely free, with no obligation to sell.

You can request a home visit, book a private hotel consultation, or send photographs online for a valuation instead.

Most of our venues offer on-site or nearby parking — check the specific venue details above, or call us if you’d like to confirm before travelling.

Most items take just a few minutes to assess, though this can vary depending on how many pieces you bring and their complexity.
