No Auctions at the Round Market

Tenbury Wells historic weekly Plant and Produce auctions have been suspended for the foreseeable future. A significant decline in the number of enteries and subsequent reduction in the number of people attending has led to the decision.
The good news is that Market Rights Holder Owen Ball has agreed with the Market Owners, the Philip Baylie Trust that sellers can enter produce and plants for sale at a fixed price.

The new system will provide:-
  • better results for sellers as goods will be seen by more potential buyers

  • greater convenience for buyers as they can buy at a time that suits them rather than only at the time of the auction

  • lower commission charges for sellers.
