Peter Rabbit™: Tales on the Tyne Grand Finale Auction takes place on the evening of Tuesday 13th October at Newcastle Civic Centre, for an exciting evening where most of our beautiful sculptures– including six very special surprise lots – will find their forever homes.
This is your chance to bid on your favourite Peter Rabbit, and have the chance to take home a super-sized memento of the trail. Each sculpture has been individually designed and painted by an artist and they are all unique one-offs, not available to buy anywhere else.
The starting bid for each sculpture will be in the region of £2,000. There will be 40 lots available to bid for.
Attend the auction and bid in person
If you would like to attend to bid in person, tickets are available now at £20 (plus Eventbrite booking fee), which includes a glass of fizz on arrival. The atmosphere will be electric as 40 lots go under the hammer.
Hosted by writer, comedian and artist Alfie Joey, alongside auctioneer Fred Wyrley-Birch from Anderson & Garland, our grand finale auction is set to be a spectacle not to be missed!
