Mathewsons auction dates 2026 and 2027

Mathewsons had not published any 2027 dates when this page was last checked. The pattern in 2026 was a Pickering sale roughly every month from April to July, then September, October and December, with the Harrogate event in August. That is a guide to when dates are likely to fall, not a promise; this page will carry the 2027 dates once they are announced, and nothing before.

The viewing week is the part you can attend. Entry is £5 per person, payable by card or cash. You can walk round the cars and memorabilia entered for the sale and inspect them; that is what the week is for, and Mathewsons say every lot is sold as seen, so serious buyers use it.

The sale days themselves are held behind closed doors. You cannot buy a ticket to sit in the room at Pickering. In 2026 the one exception was Mathewsons Live, the summer auction held away from Pickering at Harrogate, where the public could watch the bidding.

The rules at the viewing are firm: no visitors aged 16 or under, no pets, no food or drink, and no handbags or large bags. A private viewing of a specific vehicle outside the published week can be arranged by contacting Mathewsons in advance.

Mathewsons say bids can be placed online, by telephone or by commission bid. Ask them on 01751 474455 or at admin@mathewsons.co.uk; auction entries go to entries@mathewsons.co.uk. Our how to buy guide explains registering, buyer's commission, paying and collecting.

The saleroom is at Unit 10, Enterprise Way, Thornton Road, Pickering, YO18 7NA. On-street parking near it fills completely during a viewing week, so the practical route is the free weekday shuttle bus that links Thornton-le-Dale, the saleroom and Eastgate car park in Pickering. Our Pickering saleroom page has the detail, and Visiting Mathewsons covers the museum and shop at Roxby Garage, which is open every day whether or not a viewing is on.
