Over 800 lots from an Irish country house, a magpie’s spread of gold coins and single-malt whisky near Edinburgh, a rolling weekly collectables round in Lancashire, and a trusty Suffolk general sale — all under the hammer on the same morning. On Monday 24 August 2026, four very different salerooms open their catalogues within half an hour of each other. Here’s what’s coming up and where to point your paddle.
What’s in the Bank Hall Auctions weekly sale at Colne?
Bank Hall Auctions runs its live weekly auction of collectables, antiques, jewellery, wristwatches and fabrics from Unit 6, Kings Mill, Queen St, Harle Syke, Burnley, Lancashire BB10 2HX. It starts at 9:30 am (BST) and, despite the in-room theatre at Colne, bidding on this listing is online only.
Weekly sales are the workhorses of the trade — a rolling mix where a decent wristwatch, a tray of costume jewellery or a bolt of period fabric turns up next to general smalls. The draw is turnover: fresh lots every week, sensible estimates, and plenty of room to buy for stock or for the mantelpiece. If you’re placing your first absentee bid, it’s a forgiving place to learn the rhythm of live online bidding. See more from the house on the Bank Hall Auctions page, browse other sales across Lancashire, and register on the live Bidspirit catalogue to bid.
What’s in the Antiques Ireland Ardsallagh House sale?
This is the one for country-house romantics. Antiques Ireland presents an antique auction of over 800 lots including the contents of Ardsallagh House, Navan. It runs from 27A William St, Waterford, Ireland, from 10:00 am (BST), online and in person.
Single-house clearances are where you find furniture with a story and a matched sense of taste rather than a bin of unrelated lots. Standout categories to watch:
- Fine and antique furniture — the good bones of an Irish country home, from proper case pieces to occasional furniture.
- Waterford Crystal — cut glass on home ground, more or less its native county.
- Chandeliers — lighting meant to be seen by candlelight.
- Jewellery, rugs and collectables — for decorators and gift-buyers alike.
Two practical notes worth reading twice. First, the buyer’s premium is 23%, with an additional 3% on bids placed through the easyLive Auction live service. Second, delivery is on you — the house recommends independent couriers (Transpro Logistics, Vincent Reilly, Essential Moves and A-B Transport are all listed), but you must arrange your own collection. Viewing ran 17–21 August (9am–5pm) and 22–23 August (12–5pm). The full catalogue is live on easyLive, and there’s more on the Antiques Ireland page.
What’s in the Thomson Roddick Callan Carlisle collectors’ sale?
Thomson Roddick Callan’s Carlisle antiques and collectors’ sale is the magpie’s day out. Bidding opens at 10:00 am (BST), online and in person, run from The Auction Centre, 118 Carnethie Street, Rosewell, by Edinburgh, EH24 9AL. Expect a broad spread:
- Jewellery and silver
- Ceramics, toys and cameras
- Militaria and works of art
- Gold and other coins — for the numismatists
- Whisky and other wine and spirits — where collectors and drinkers quietly compete
Individual lots aren’t listed yet, so treat the catalogue as the source of truth once it fills — set your alerts and get condition questions in early. It’s one to watch among Scotland auctioneers. See the easyLive catalogue and more from the house at Thomson Roddick Callan.
What’s in the Clarke and Simpson Monday Sale in Suffolk?
Rounding off the day, Clarke and Simpson Auctions hold The Monday Sale — Saleroom 2 at Campsea Ashe, near Wickham Market, Suffolk. It starts at 10:00 am (BST) and runs online and in person.
The Monday general sale is a Suffolk institution — the dependable, unpretentious auction where trade dealers and locals fill the room and honest household goods, furniture and smalls change hands at real-world prices. A fine place to furnish a first flat or find something for the garden without the country-house premium. One thing to diarise: condition reports for this sale close at 11am on the Saturday before, so ask your questions in good time. There’s more on the Clarke and Simpson Auctions page and across Suffolk, with the catalogue on the-saleroom.
How do you bid at these Monday auctions?
Four sales, four flavours — a quick Lancashire weekly round, a full Irish house clearance, a Scottish collectors’ spread and a trusty Suffolk Monday. Register on the relevant platform to bid live online, or turn up in person where the format allows. Always check the buyer’s premium before you bid, and follow these houses on Auction Eagle to catch their next catalogues.
