Four salerooms open on the same August morning, and no two are alike. On Monday 24 August 2026, all starting at 10:00 am (BST), you can chase weekly general antiques across East Anglia, dress a terrace before the warm evenings run out, or spend the day sorting boxes of railway slides. Here’s where to point your bidding hand.
What’s in the Clarke and Simpson Monday Sale?
Clarke and Simpson Auctions run their Monday Sale across Saleroom 3 & 4 from Campsea Ashe, near Wickham Market in Suffolk. It’s a weekly workhorse — general household antiques, collectables and furniture in volume, the kind of catalogue where a trade dealer and a first-time bidder furnishing a cottage can both come away happy.
This is a mixed sale, not a single-owner showpiece, so the interest is in the hunt: oak and brown furniture at sensible money, boxes of ceramics and glass, and the odd under-catalogued sleeper. One diary note — condition reports close at 11am on the Saturday before the sale, so if you’re bidding remotely, get your questions in early rather than on the morning.
It runs Online & In Person: view in the room at Campsea Ashe or bid live from your desk. Browse the Clarke and Simpson Monday Sale listing, or see more from Clarke and Simpson Auctions.
What can you buy at the Keys Fine Art weekly auction?
Over the border in Norfolk, Keys Fine Art Auctioneers hold their Weekly Auction of Antiques, Collectables, Furniture etc in Saleroom 5, on Palmers Lane in Aylsham. It starts at 10:00 am and runs Online & In Person — a genuine weekly turnover of household and decorative goods rather than a boutique offering.
These Aylsham sales are where Norfolk auctioneers earn their name: honest estimates, a broad spread of antiques and furniture, and enough smalls to keep the phone bidders busy. Whether you’re a dealer restocking, a designer after character pieces, or someone who’d sooner own a solid Victorian chest than a flat-pack one, this is a catalogue to comb through lot by lot. Stock changes weekly, so it rewards regulars who know how a room bids.

When and where is the Gorringe’s House & Garden Sale?
Circle this one if the weather has you eyeing the terrace. Gorringe’s hold their House & Garden Sale at 15 North Street, Lewes, East Sussex, BN7 2PE, on Monday 24 August 2026 at 10:00 am (BST), Online & In Person.
A House & Garden sale is summer collecting at its best. The format pairs indoor furnishings with the outdoor pieces that only really sell when the sun’s out — the sort of statuary, urns, planters, benches and weathered stoneware that take decades to earn their patina. For anyone dressing a garden before the season turns, or sourcing architectural pieces for a client, Lewes is a smart Monday. Gorringe’s know their East Sussex market.
See the full offering on the Gorringe’s House & Garden Sale listing, or explore more from Gorringe’s. View in the room if you can — garden lots need to be seen for condition and weight before you commit.
What’s in the Justaclickago railwayana auction?
Justaclickago close the day with their Summer Auction of Railway and Transport Slides, Negatives, Prints and Paper Railwayana — an Online Only sale run from Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire, LE12 8TN, starting at 10:00 am (BST).
This is paper railwayana at its most collectable, and it spans far more than trains:
- BR Steam — the backbone of railway photography, and usually the most keenly fought section.
- Modern Traction — diesels and electrics for collectors documenting the later network.
- Overseas Traction — for interests that run beyond British metals.
- Buses — a sub-hobby of its own among transport enthusiasts.
- Shipping and Aircraft — rounding out the theme for maritime and aviation collectors.
Slides, negatives and prints are the raw record of a vanished network, and they reward the collector who buys for the image, not the frame. Since it’s online only, the lot notes do the heavy lifting — read them closely and set your maximums before the timer runs down. Start with the Justaclickago summer railwayana listing, or follow Justaclickago for future transport sales.
Which Monday auction should you bid on?
It depends on what you collect. Furnishing a home or restocking a stand? The Suffolk and Norfolk weekly sales — Clarke and Simpson and Keys — are your bread and butter. Dressing a garden while summer lasts? Gorringe’s in Lewes. Chasing the image rather than the object? Justaclickago’s railwayana. All four hammer down on Monday 24 August 2026 at 10:00 am, and three of the four let you view stock in the room first. Set your limits, get your condition-report questions in early, and good luck under the hammer.
