Kings Head Community Benefit Society Pub Purchase Fundraiser

Read more ...


We’re thrilled to launch our silent auction in support of Kings Head Community Benefit Society's mission to bring the beloved Kings Head pub into community ownership.

 

This auction is to raise funds towards the community purchase of the pub. It's your chance to help secure the beating heart of the village of East Hoathly and win some truly fantastic prizes while you’re at it!

 

From a Michelin-starred meal for two at Tom Kerridge’s The Coach in Marlow, to a 2-night stay at the beautiful Hesmond’s Oast in East Hoathly, or indulgent experiences like a hot air balloon flight for two, afternoon tea at The Alfriston or a luxurious overnight escape at Buxted Park Hotel - there’s something for everyone! You could also win theatre tickets, magnums of champagne, brewery tours, gift vouchers, or even a bespoke art print of your home by local artist Keith Pettit.

 

Every bid brings us closer to our goal of purchasing the Kings Head as a community and protecting it for future generations. So, browse the prizes, place your bids, give generously and be part of something truly special.

 

Let’s raise a glass to community spirit – and to you, our fantastic supporters!

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
