Our next auction is our Annual Garden & Architectural Salvage sale this Saturday (26th April) at 10am with viewing on Thursday from 1pm to 5pm, Friday 10am to 6pm and from 8.30am on the day. Unlike other auction houses we welcome room bidders and our cafe will be open serving bacon & sausage baps, teas, coffee etc. The fully illustrated catalogue is live.
Please be advised: There is no parking at the auction room for this sale (as the car park is full of lots), The Ivy Inn, just a short stroll away to the right of our entrance is kindly allowing our customers to use their car park for parking on both viewing and sale days. There will, however, be a couple of disabled spaces.
Annual Holiday, as we have a 4 week gap (rather than the usual 3 week) between this coming and our following auction of the 24th May we will be closed from Friday 9th May and re-open on Tuesday 20th May.

July 2024: I had not used Littleton Auctions before and found them to be knowledgeable, friendly and helpful beyond other auction houses, Their communication throughout was thorough, knowledgeable and very clear. Their packaging and postage very efficient. I just wish all auction houses were as good. Thank you again, Tim Sykes.

August 2023: What an amazing auction house!! Martin, Ben and the team are always welcoming and provide a brilliant service to both sellers and buyers. We've dealt with this auction room for many years and always had fantastic service. The atmosphere in the room on auction days is well worth experiencing and you can even get your breakfast/lunch there from their cafe! Would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area.
