The Pushkin Antiques team was joined by local community members, business owners and the Mayor of Tunbridge Wells on Saturday 26th November at their Christmas Charity Auction in support of local charity, Mental Health Resource.

Guests were invited to bid on lots ranging from a Private Box at Ascot, lunch at the Warren, a weekend stay in Brighton, a bespoke piece of graffiti artwork by Humor, a signed limited edition Pele print and more.
Those who generously donated auction prizes for the evening include Sankeys, Humor, Tom John Tudor-Pole, Hana & Steve Wynne, Gallagher, LagoDiComo Bar and Restaurant, The Warren, The Ivy, Castle Fine Art, Dylan Miles Ltd, Founder of The Big Chat/ Chatty Hatter PR Nicole Piesse Turner and Pushkin Antiques.
