A Meath stud dispersal, a north London chattels sale, single malts off Brick Lane and a Shipley room stacked with brown furniture — four auctions open on Monday 31 August 2026, one after another through the afternoon. Different rooms, different budgets, one good bidding day.
- 10:00am — Milltown Country Auction Rooms, Slane, Co Meath (online timed)
- 1:00pm — Southgate Auction Rooms, London (online & in person)
- 2:00pm — Tate Ward Charity Whiskey Auction, Brick Lane, London (online)
- 3:00pm — Halfway Auctions, Shipley, West Yorkshire (online & in person)
What’s in the Milltown Country Auction Rooms clearance at Slane?
Milltown Country Auction Rooms runs a large clearance on the instruction of the Cooney family, folded in with the final disposal of the contents of Clonkeehan Stud, The Square, Slane. It’s a true mixed sale — fine furnishing, fine art and collectibles on one side; a large collection of vintage farm machinery, tools and marble cut stones on the other.
That mix is exactly why estate clearances reward a slow trawl. Old hand tools and vintage machinery pull in restorers, smallholders and the crowd who like a patinated implement as garden sculpture, while reclaimed marble cut stones are catnip to landscapers and interior designers. The fine art and period furniture suit dealers and anyone doing up an older house. Read every lot description — clearances mix the everyday with the genuinely good.
When and where: an Online Only timed auction opening Monday 31 August 2026 at 10:00am (BST) and ending Friday 11 September at 10:00am — a fortnight to bid. Collection is at New Mill Industrial Estate, Slane, Co Meath, C15 DEH7, over 12–14 September. How to bid: register on the live catalogue via the full Milltown clearance listing and leave maximum bids early — timed sales reward patience, not last-second panic.
What’s in the Southgate Auction Rooms antiques sale?
Southgate Auction Rooms holds its Antiques, Fine Art & Chattels sale, the bread-and-butter general auction regulars build their week around. Chattels sales are where the honest, usable pieces turn up: brown furniture at sensible money, decorative pictures, silver and plate, ceramics, clocks and the occasional sleeper hiding under a vague catalogue heading.
It’s a forgiving sale for a first-time bidder. Running Online & In Person, you can view in the room at 55 High Street, Southgate, handle the goods, then bid live or from the sofa — the kind of auction that rewards a sharp eye over a deep pocket. It opens Monday 31 August 2026 at 1:00pm (BST).
Browse the Southgate Antiques, Fine Art & Chattels catalogue before it starts, and for more antiques auctions across the capital see our London auctions hub.
What’s in the Tate Ward Charity Whiskey Auction?
The day’s pick for single-malt hunters: Tate Ward holds a Charity Whiskey Auction from Studio 10, The Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane. Whisky is now one of the most closely watched collecting categories — aged Scotch, limited releases and closed-distillery bottlings can hold or grow their value while you decide whether to pour or shelve them. A charity sale sweetens it: buy the dram you fancy and the proceeds do some good.
Whisky bidders, do the usual homework — check fill levels, labels, capsules and any provenance in the catalogue, and factor in the buyer’s premium before setting your top bid. It’s an Online Only sale, open to collectors anywhere, starting Monday 31 August 2026 at 2:00pm (BST). How to bid: register online through the listing and bid live on the day.

What’s in the Halfway Auctions general sale in Shipley?
Closing the run, Halfway Auctions in Shipley holds a General Sale with an Alcohol Section — the high-turnover West Yorkshire sale where bargain hunters, house-fillers and trade buyers rub shoulders. The running order is helpfully clear: furniture and household items first, then antiques and collectables from lot 301 onwards, plus a dedicated drinks section for anyone stocking up.
General sales are where a live room earns its keep — you never quite know what will come through the door, and the collectables from lot 301 always merit a scroll. It runs Online & In Person at 107–108 Dockfield Road, Shipley, Bradford, BD17 7AR. Viewing opens from 1:00pm on sale day, with the live auction at 3:00pm (BST) on Monday 31 August 2026. Collection is 10am–12pm and 1pm–5pm on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday after, no appointment needed.
Check the Halfway Auctions general sale listing for lots as they load, and see more sales near you on our West Yorkshire auctions page.
