RIPLEY CASTLE JOINS HERITAGE ACTIVITIES UP FOR AUCTION

Visitors are being given the chance to gain access to special experiences and behind the scenes activities at some of the top historic properties, museums and galleries throughout the UK. In association with heritage groups, TopLots is auctioning privileged access and exclusive activities at over 120 of the UK's best known institutions including Ripley Castle.

By bidding on eBay between 1st and 11th October there is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone - individuals, families, companies and groups from the UK and across the world to bid for a private tour of Ripley Castle with 26th generation owners Sir Thomas and Lady Ingilby, dine with them in one of the spectacular rooms in the Castle and then retire to the much acclaimed Boar's Head Hotel filled with artwork and antiques from the Castle for a one night's stay.

This is the first time such a diverse selection of privileged access, exclusive experiences and unique memories to treasure from the heritage sector has been brought together in one major auction and made available to everyone and anyone.

The TopLots heritage auction is being run in partnership with eBay, the Association for independent Museums and UK heritage fundraising specialist Development Partners, working with VisitBritain and EnjoyEngland.

The auction is live from 1st October and can be accessed at ebay.co.uk/toplots.
