Set an alarm for midnight and another for half past nine: Monday 24 August 2026 packs four salerooms into a single day. From a timed online catalogue near Stratford-upon-Avon to a face-to-face plant sale in the Norfolk market town of Aylsham, with rural Northumberland and Staffordshire in between, there’s antiques, garden statuary, jewellery and living stock going under the hammer. Here’s how the day shapes up, house by house.
What’s in the Stratford Auctions Antiques & Collectables sale?
First off the mark is Stratford Auctions with its Antiques & Collectables sale, a general antiques auction that rewards patient scrolling. It’s the sort of mixed catalogue where a decent piece of country furniture, a run of collectables or a bit of decorative brass can slip through at a sensible hammer price — good hunting for trade dealers and first-time bidders alike.
The practicalities matter here. This is an online-only sale, held at the Dodwell Trading Estate, Evesham Road, near Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, and timed for 12:00am (midnight) BST on Monday 24 August 2026 — a timed online catalogue to browse and leave bids on, not a room to walk into. Note the house does not provide an in-house postage service, so sort collection or a third-party courier before you commit. View lots and bid through the live catalogue, and if you’re buying locally, browse more Warwickshire auctioneers on Auction Eagle.
When and where is the Hexham Auction Mart Rothbury sale?
Head north for Hexham Auction Mart Co and its Sale of Antiques, Furniture, Household & General Goods, held at Rothbury Auction Mart, Station Road, Rothbury, Northumberland, NE65 7QJ. It starts at 9:00am BST on Monday 24 August 2026 and runs online and in person, so you can bid live in the room or follow remotely.
Country marts like this are an honest pleasure of the trade. The catalogue runs from antiques through to everyday household and general goods — solid brown furniture, kitchenalia and job lots that the fashionable London rooms overlook, exactly where furnishing a home or a holiday let becomes affordable. Individual lots aren’t listed yet, so check back as the catalogue fills out. If you’re within striking distance, the in-room viewing is a real advantage: handle the goods before you bid. Watch the live catalogue, and find more sales across Tyne and Wear and the North East.
What can you buy at the Richard Winterton Antique & HomeSale?
For sheer breadth, Richard Winterton Auctioneers takes the day. The Antique & HomeSale runs at Wood End Lane, Fradley Park, Lichfield, Staffordshire, WS13 8NF, from 9:00am BST on Monday 24 August 2026, online and in person. What earns it diary space is the structure: over a thousand lots, sensibly sectioned so you can go straight to what you collect.
Read the running order carefully, as there are deliberate gaps in the lot numbers between sections:
- Garden effects — lots 1–37, first up at 9:00am. Well timed for late summer: statuary, planters and outdoor pieces before autumn arrives.
- Tools & electricals — lots 51–117, bread-and-butter for makers and smallholders.
- Furniture — lots 201–336, the heart of any HomeSale.
- Jewellery — lots 401–525, from 10:30am, the section that draws the sharpest online competition.
- Alcohol — lots 701–729, for the whisky and wine collectors.
- Ceramics, glass, pictures & household miscellaneous — lots 738–1014, the long tail where sleepers hide.
That 10:30am jewellery start is one to set an alarm for if gold and gemstones are your thing. Browse the full run on the live catalogue, and see what else is coming up across the West Midlands.
What’s in the Keys Fine Art Weekly Plants & Outside Effects sale?
The most seasonal of the four is Keys Fine Art Auctioneers with its Weekly Auction of Plants & Outside Effects at Palmers Lane, Aylsham, Norfolk. It runs online and in person from 9:30am BST on Monday 24 August 2026. With a garden to fill before the season turns, this regular fixture earns its keep — living plants alongside outside effects such as garden furniture, pots and tools.
One rule to plan around: all plants must be collected in person on sale day, or by 12:30pm the day after. Living stock can’t sit in a warehouse, so only bid if you can reach Aylsham promptly. Otherwise it’s a low-risk way for garden designers, allotment keepers and first-time bidders to build a border cheaply. Follow the live catalogue, and discover more Norfolk auctions nearby.
