About Clare Auction

The market town of Clare, Suffolk has a tradition of a regular auction that reaches back hundreds of years. For the last 30 years the auctions at Clare have specialised in antiques, collectables and general effects, and we are delighted to continue this long held tradition.

Want to sell?

Clare Auction has a new, more dealer focused approach to auction trading. Unlike other auction houses, at Clare Auction your vendor fee is fixed based on the estimate or reserve price, so you get 100% of the sale price however high the bidding goes

Want to buy?

At Clare Auction we have also made the buyer’s premium attractive to trade buyers so that you can be confident to buy the stock you want and still be safe in the knowledge that your retail margins are preserved

Clare Carpet Bowls – New season starts 17/9/14

The Old School, Callis Street, Clare

Clare Carpet Bowls Club.

The Club is best described as a ‘social event with carpet bowls thrown in’!  Members meet every Wednesday evening in Hall 3 of the Community Centre from mid September to early April.  Bowling starts around 7:30pm and continues to around 10:00pm, with a break somewhere around 8:30pm for coffee and biscuits.  During the season, the Club plays friendly (non-league) matches against five other clubs, both away, at their place, and at home, our place.  Win or lose, these are enjoyable and often quite hilarious.

Our first evening for the current season is Wednesday, 17 September 2014.  Please come along and give it a try.  Previous experience of carpet bowls, or any other type of bowls, is not required.  Skill is optional!  After 20 years, we are still learning!!!
