Hosted by acclaimed auctioneer Natasha Raskin Sharp, from TV’s Bargin Hunt, Flog It! and Antiques Roadshow, all proceeds will go towards local charity Break to stand tall with care experienced young people and raise aspirations of the county’s care leavers.
Starting from £1500, there will be 30 Large Gs and 5 Mini G sculptures going under the hammer. Each has a story to tell with both local and national artists having put their creative mark on the design. The 35 lots also include one white Large G and Mini G ready to be given their very own unique artwork.
