In addition to our general auction on June 4th at Itchen Abbas, we will be running two specialist auctions.
Cycle Auction
Saturday 4th June – Itchen Abbas Village Hall
Raleigh Dawn Safety Tourist or possibly Superbe Ladies Bike – believed to be from WWII
Our fifth cycle auction takes place before the general auction in the garden. Cycles and related items are delivered at 8am, Viewing is from 10:30 and the auction is at noon.
Do you have any cycles to sell? Do you know anyone who has a cycle they should sell? Now is the time to give them a clean, take a photo and post them on the appropriate page of our web site to attract buyers to the auction. The list is in the Cycles menu on our web site. There have been nearly a 1,000 visitors to our Cycling page in the last 90 days. They want to see what you have to sell.
Buyers can expect 100-150 lots on the day. In the past they have ranged from early 1900s bikes, all the way to modern bikes which have never been used! We have sold respected small volume English frame makers, good bikes from Raleigh, Dawes, Claud Butler and modern American and Continental makers. Check out the Cycling Archives to see what has been sold previously.
Normal charges: £1 per lot submitted for sale, 12.5% commission for buyers and sellers and 50p to view/bid.
Höfner 185 “Artist Bass” 1964 – Restored and ready to play
Yes, inside the festival at Arlebury Park. With 3,000 people attending the festival and a significant percentage of them who play musical instruments, we think they will want to sell some and buy some.
We are putting up a large marquee for the day. We will be receiving instruments in the morning and lotting them up. Viewing at lunchtime and the early afternoon. The auction will be in sections (guitars, woodwind, brass etc.) in the late afternoon and early evening.
If you have or know someone who has a musical instrument to sell, please upload photos and descriptions to the Musical Instrument section pages on our site now, to attract buyers. The auction will be promoted on the Alresford Music Festival web site and in their email shots to a few thousand people.
Charges: £2 per lot submitted for sale and 12.5% commission for buyers and sellers. No charge for viewing/bidding.
Please look at the advice for those unable to attend as buyers or sellers on the Musical Instruments web page. We will do our best to get your instrument in the auction and accept your commission bids.

In addition to the top ten below there was some Clarice Cliff, Staffordshire dogs, a collection of 270 postcards, a Russian samovar, a military watch, a mace, several good pieces of silver and jewellery, a signal lamp, glassware, mirrors and a vintage fire bucket. They were all amongst the 33 lots selling for £30 or over.
As you can see above the auction was well attended with 90 people in that shot just before the auction started plus the smokers and the people inspecting the cycles in the garden. About 200 will have attended the viewing. There were many new buyers and sellers.
