H&H Classics announces 2026 auction dates including the introduction of weekend sales

15/01/2026    

  • H&H Classics is hosting 11 physical auctions in 2026 beginning on Wednesday 18th March at Kelham Hall, Newark, where it will also host another two sales
  • Its sales will be held at four venues across the UK, including two weekend auctions at a notable motor location in Bedfordshire
  • The popular venues of the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull and the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton hold three auctions each

H&H Classics has revealed its auction dates for 2026 which sees the introduction of weekend sales at the famous motor venue of Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.

There is also an increased number of auctions at the spectacular surroundings of Kelham Hall in Newark following a hugely successful debut sale in 2025.

In total, H&H will host 11 physical auctions this year – eight classic, collector and performance motorcar sales and three dedicated auctions of classic motorcycles and vintage scooters - across four locations.

The first auction of classic, collector and performance motorcars takes place at Kelham Hall on Wednesday 18th March which will be the venue for three H&H auctions in 2026. The sales will build on the success of last year’s debut which saw incredible results at the stunning 19th century private stately home, which is set in 42 acres of picturesque gardens and manicured lawns.

The Kelham Hall auction is quickly followed by H&H’s first dedicated two-wheel auction. Taking place at the National Motorcycle Museum on Wednesday 25th March, the venue will also host two further auctions in 2026.

Significantly, the famous Millbrook Proving Ground, also a new venue for H&H Classics last year when it held weekday sales, will see two classic car auctions in 2026, both at weekends. The weekend timings will make public access to the normally private and highly secretive facility more relaxed, as well as provide a host of additional exciting opportunities for the event.

Additionally, the ever-popular venue of the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton will host three classic car auctions with the first one at the end of April.

James McWilliam, sales manager at H&H Classics, said: “Kelham Hall and the Millbrook Proving Ground were new venues for H&H Classics in 2025 where we enjoyed successful sales.

“It’s incredibly exciting to be holding even more auctions at the beautiful Nottinghamshire venue, while adding weekend sales at the famous Bedfordshire proving ground will open up the auction experience to even more enthusiasts and collectors.

“Meanwhile, if you are a potential vendor, then please speak with our specialist team at the earliest opportunity about the options to consign items into one of our eleven auctions in 2026.”
