• UPDATED 23rd March 8.40pm: ALL FUTURE AUCTIONS CURRENTLY CANCELLED. WE ARE CLOSED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT, AS PER JUST RELEASED GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES.

• This means we are not on the premises for collections. All goods on the premises are fully insured, and our property is covered by multiple CCTV cameras which we can remotely view, as well as our landlord living in very close proximity. If you were successful with bids on the 23rd March, please do not worry. All gold, jewellery etc. will be safely locked away. We are exploring the possibility of still being able to post items out. We will be in contact over the following days if this is possible.

This means;

• We are not accepting items for auction
• We will be contactable, our normal office number (01822 616992) will ring through to staff working from home
• We we still offer valuations via email, or those sent through the website
• We can offer house clearance estimates & advice via video chat, or video file (we will not be visiting premises during this hiatus).
• There will be no-one at our offices effective immediately. 

We think this is in the best interests of our staff & customers. There is no precedent for this, and we thank our staff and customers for their support. We will be back, stronger & better than ever. We hope everyone stays safe during this hiatus.

These are truly stressful times for everyone, and although the items we sell may not be essentials (depending on your disposition!) we appreciate all those who will be supporting us over these next testing months. We are proud of the auction house we have built here, the staff who represent us and the reputation we have worked so hard to build, and are determined to see these tough times through. We wish the best of health to everyone, from all of us at Drake’s Auctions, and look forwards to seeing all of you in better times.
