Event Description
Auctions of holly and mistletoe cannot be considered unique, but they definitely score highly for originality.
The annual sales at Tenbury Wells also deserve recognition for longevity, having been held for some 160 years – which partly explains the sense of pride that local auctioneers Nick Champion gain from staging them.
Tenbury and its environs are prime mistletoe country, since orchards have been a familiar theme in the local landscape and the plant thrives in the boughs of an apple tree. Holly is the perfect complement to mistletoe, the pair being staple fare at this magical time of year, and so growers and gatherers assemble to trade the pair under the experienced guidance of the Nick Champion team.
