Mitchells Furniture Auction

We have been a couple of times for a day out! It’s a lovely old fashioned auction house with most lots going through the ‘Bull Ring’. We like the interaction between the staff who are obviously very dedicated and extremely helpful.

On one of our visits the auctioneer carried out most of his business in a lovely sing song voice.

There are boxes of bargains to be had if you like that kind of thing and always household appliances going for a song. Furniture is also very reasonable and can be collected on Saturday mornings which we found very convenient.

Purchased a wall map to put up in an office. Really pleased with the maps and received great service. Mitchells were even able to help arrange delivery. Many thanks!

People and so warm friendly and helpful.

Looks like it has a good selection of things.

I regularly follow the auction listings on the Mitchell’s Facebook website.



Spotted a leather sofa I liked. Viewed sofa on the Wednesday after I’d finished work (they are open until 7pm on the evening before a sale). Placed a maximum reserve bid as I knew I wouldn’t be able to attend.



My reserve bid won at 3pm on the Thursday. The sofa was delivered at 4.30pm the same day!



All Mitchell’s office staff involved were fabulous, so helpful and friendly given that I’d not used the service before. Clearly explained the process which was really simple.



The two delivery chaps were outstanding. Salt of the Earth and great craic. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Both a credit to the Company (please pass on my thanks).



A massive endorsement from me. A great Cumbrian business and one I wholeheartedly recommend.

I love the auction, the staff are wonderful and theres always lots of interesting things , just wish I had more space at home

Great Auction house. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Weekly sales with a wide variety of goods going under the hammer.

Cracking lil auction house, staff are approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend even if just for a day out :)

After clearing out my sons room of toys and Lego I was ready to take them to the tip, then I was advised to take them to the auction. I made over £100 on what I thought was just junk! Great service and a great auction! Thank you!

A vital hub within Cockermouth. The staff are courteous and knowledgeable, always prepared to help with any query regardless of how inane.

The sales vary depending on many factors, the normal household sale brings in dealers and people just looking for a bargain.

The catalogue sale is very high profile and brings in people from all over the country, the lots often go for considerably more than expected.

The other lesser known sale is the sporting goods, which by all accounts has a very good local following.

People visit Mitchell's more as returning friends than customers.

20% buyers premium also vat on top so 40% extra in total that's higher than Sotherby ouch..
