Gorringe’s, the Lewes based antiques and fine art auctioneers, is running a contest giving one lucky winner the chance to experience the thrill of being an auctioneer. The winner will also receive a High Tea for Two at The Little Cottage Tearoom and Garden, in Glynde.
The winner will be greeted by Gorringe’s friendly, welcoming staff at their auction house on 15 North Street, Lewes. They will be given an insight into antiques and live auctions – with pointers on how to host an auction, the tricks of the trade and what it takes to be a great auctioneer.
Clifford Lansberry, Partner at Gorringe’s commented:
“This crash-course in auctioneering will be followed by the winner’s chance to shine – taking to the rostrum to host a live auction, selling Gorringe’s owned lots.
“It will be a fun, zero-pressure experience, with Gorringe’s experts on hand to guide you, every step of the way.
“We want to make antiques and live auctions accessible to all and hope that the winner of the Be The Auctioneer contest – be it their first time in an auction house, or one of our more seasoned customers – enjoys this unique insight into what life is like on the other side of the rostrum.”
