Auctions in Hampshire
Welcome to Auctions in a Day. It’s exactly that:
- Sellers deliver their lots in the morning
- We lot and photograph them
- Viewing at lunchtime
- Auction starts at 2pm
- and we are clear of the venue by 6pm
It’s all done in a day.
We provide:
- a cost-effective auction for both buyers and sellers
- a simple process
- advice on what will sell or not and estimates
- free hot drinks for sellers in the morning
- auctions in accessible community centres with free parking
- and sell wonderful home-made cakes at great prices
We hope you will enjoy the day and we will all have some fun. We ran our first auction in the autumn of 2003 on a Friday evening at Alresford Community Centre. Many buyers and sellers are still attending from that auction. They travel to the auction from all over Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Surrey and Sussex. This could have something to do with the tasty home-made cakes. Lots have sold from £5 to several hundred pounds.
Our sales will include but are not limited to: ceramics, coins, collectables, furniture, metal-ware, militaria, musical instruments, stamps, toys, treen, paintings, vintage goods. See the auction reports for previous lots. We don’t collect or deliver lots, sell: cars, houses, modern electrical items or provide insurance valuations.

Do you ever do maritime auctions ?
And maritime book auctions ?
Many thanks
Hi Kim, We have not held any maritime related auctions. So far our specialist auctions have been for bicycles and musical instruments. Maritime items do appear at our general auctions but generally we don’t find out until the morning of the sale.
Hi Helen

Do you sell old 78 records?
Hi Cora
We do see these occasionally.
Auctions in a Day is a professionally run auction facility. I would recommend them to the general public.
Thank you.
We had a great day out at Itchen Abbas, a friendly environment with “exceedingly” good home made cakes and excellent refreshments earlier this year and look forward to our next visit in October at Badgers Farm, when we will be visiting the UK again from our home in Portugal.
Kind regards
Ann and John
I can’t wait for the badger farm auctions, especially the cycle sale.
peace.Pete
Thank you Pete. The cycle auction is at Itchen Abbas on the 6th June.
Can children attend? We have a 6 year old-keen watcher of antiques road show and thinking of attending first ever auction on 7th March.
Hi Kirsty
Children are welcome and have attended. During viewing there can 100 people in the room and they are fully focussed on the lots not on children. Some of the lots are fragile. During the auction the audience and the auctioneer appreciate low levels of background conversation etc.
At Itchen Abbas there is a play area with a fort on the lawn but also some easy escapes to the main road! There is also a safe walk across several bridges over the River Itchen, 200m from the Village Hall.
I hope they like home made cake. We look forward to seeing you there.
Cheers, Andrew

Hi do you sell vintage black powder shotguns
We haven’t and we are unlikely to.
Hi Just to say that I attended Itchen Abbas on Saturday, which in 61 years is the first auction that I have been to and it was the start of a very good day. I am looking forward to the event at Badger Farm in October.
Kind regards
Dusty
Thank you Dusty for your kind words. I know someone else at the opposite end of the age range also had a good day at their first auction. Good to see you have subscribed to web site’s email update service. See you in October.
