Event Details

Time: 10am to 1pm
Venue: The Bell Plantation Garden Centre
Address: Watling Street, Towcester, NN12 6GX
Cost: Free

What can you bring along?
The Hansons team will be offering professional valuations across several specialist areas.
These include:
Jewellery
Silver
Watches
Fine antiques
Hansons also describes its valuation days more broadly as an opportunity to bring along antiques, collectables and family heirlooms to find out more about their possible value.
If you have something tucked away at home and have always wondered whether it is simply sentimental or potentially rather more interesting, this is a straightforward way to ask an expert.
Free professional valuations
The valuation service is completely free.
There is also no need to book a timed appointment.
Simply visit Bell Plantation between 10am and 1pm and take your item to the Hanson Ross valuation specialists.
The aim is to offer a relaxed and informative assessment, so you can learn more about what you own without committing to selling it.
What happens if something is valuable?
If an item looks suitable for auction, Hansons can discuss the next steps with you on the day.
That can include:
An auction estimate
Potential selling prices
Auction costs and fees
How the consignment process works
If you decide you would like the item to go to auction, suitable pieces can be consigned on the day.
There is no obligation to sell simply because you have asked for a valuation.
Too much to bring with you?
If you have a larger collection, Hansons also offers free home-visit valuations.
The auction house says this option is available where someone has more than 25 items, or where an object is too large or awkward to bring to a valuation day.
That may be useful for larger collections, house clearances or sizeable pieces of furniture and art.
Who is running the valuation day?
The event is run by specialists from the Hanson Ross auctioneers team, part of Hansons Auctioneers.
Their valuation events take place at locations around the country, giving people the opportunity to meet specialists locally rather than travelling directly to an auction centre.
The Bell Plantation event is one of a regular series of Towcester valuation days.
