More than 50 exclusive lots up for grabs at our auction

Some of the lots on offer at our annual auction, online until November 2

TEA with the Chief Constable, a day at the races, tickets for Henley and a £10,000 home renovation voucher are just a handful of the amazing lots on offer at the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust’s 2025 fundraising auction.

The online auction has more than 50 lots, many offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences, such as a tour and afternoon tea at Wiltshire Police HQ with Chief Constable Catherine Roper or breakfast and a morning on the gallops with Champion National Hunt Trainer Paul Nicholls.

There is also a chance for a tour of Antiques Roadshow experts’ Marc Allum and Lisa Lloyd’s home.

There are two tickets for Henley Regatta, a four-night Moroccan adventure, a 50-ins TV, a Center Parcs break and a weekend sailing experience.

One of the star lots is a £10,000 voucher donated by kitchen and joinery specialist Howdens, redeemable towards any product at any branch and valid for a year.

Other lots offer exciting ways to get to know the South West better, including a one-hour flight in pilot Andrew Wimble’s RV-9 light aircraft, a day’s sailing from Southampton, a two-hour drive in a classic Austin Healey or a New Forest cycling tour.

Foodies will be tempted by several lots offering lunch or dinner for up to ten plus lunch vouchers, champagne and wine tasting.

Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust Director Jennie Shaw said: “We do not receive statutory funding so we have to raise more than £350,000 a year to maintain our service.

“We are grateful to Hillbrush for sponsoring the auction and to each and every one of those who have so generously donated lots. We are absolutely blown away by the breadth and quality of the lots we have on offer, many of them unforgettable experiences that would make wonderful Christmas presents.”

The auction is live now here and runs until November 2.
