As with the 2025 Show, the BHW Show of the Year 2026 Charity Auction will launch initially online on the RPRA auction site, and will end in person in the Spanish Hall at the Show itself, conducted by Les Green of Northern Premier Auctions. The leading bids at the close of the online phase on Thursday 15th January (4.00pm) will serve as the opening bids of the in-person phase at the Show.

You will need to be registered on the site to place bids online – see the guide on the home page. By registering/bidding you agree to abide by the Auction Rules. Winning bidders will be able to collect their birds from the Winter Gardens, where appropriate. After the Show weekend, birds will need to be collected by courier, at the winner’s expense.
