Why attend our events?

Our specialists include experts featured on BBC's Antiques Roadshow and contributors to major reference works, yet they're equally excited about helping someone understand a single family heirloom. There's no obligation to sell, no pressure to consign – just friendly conversation and expert insight that helps you understand both what you have and why it matters.

Every item carries stories that our specialists love sharing. That Victorian stamp might commemorate forgotten history, those military medals could connect to remarkable service, or those trading cards might represent cultural phenomena you never knew about. You'll leave with knowledge that goes far beyond simple values, connecting with fellow collectors who appreciate the joy of discovery.

What happens at our events?

No queues, no time pressure – just friendly conversation in our beautiful showroom spaces. Our specialists examine each piece carefully, explaining factors like rarity, condition, and historical significance that affect value. We provide honest assessments based on current market conditions, and whether you're interested in selling, learning more about collecting, or simply needed expert opinions, we'll guide you towards the best next steps for your situation.
