Wednesday 11 February, 10am – 4pm
Britten Studio, Snape Maltings, Snape, Suffolk, IP17 1SP

Building on the success of the first event held in partnership with Britten Pears Arts in autumn 2025, Sworders’ team of specialists will return to Snape Maltings early in the New Year for the next in its series of Art and Antiques Valuation Days.

Sworders was delighted to welcome both new and familiar faces at the Valuation Day in September – uncovering stories, sharing expertise, and offering guidance on selling at auction, with several exciting consignments now on their way to future sales!

After the warm reception of the first event, the team from Sworders – including specialists from Design, Pictures, Jewellery, and Interiors – will return to the Britten Studio on Wednesday 11 February 2026. The day begins at 11am with a talk by Matthew Yeats, Head of Design: Composing Taste: How Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears Designed Their World (free to all to attend).

After the talk, guests are invited to enjoy complimentary auction valuations, offered on a first-come, first-served basis (no appointment necessary). While waiting their turn, visitors can make the most of Snape Maltings – browsing its boutique shops or indulging in tea and cake.

Ample parking will be available close to the Britten Studio and Hoffmann Foyer, with refreshments served throughout the day.
For those with more items than they can carry, Sworders also offers home valuation visits, with further details available on request.
