Lot 1 Minimum bid £1,000
Kindly donated by Richard Corrigan

A private lunch or dinner for six in the
exclusive Kitchen Library at Corrigan’s Mayfair
Situated within the kitchen of Corrigan’s Mayfair, the Kitchen Library is one of London’s most dramatic dining rooms.
Seating between two to six people the room is opposite the pass (where the Head Chef brings together the area in the
kitchen where dishes are handed over to the waiting staff en-route to the dining room) so there is plenty of action.
Part of Richard Corrigan’s extensive library of cookery books shows a wide and eclectic interest in food. This is a warm
and intimate space and its proximity to the action of the kitchen makes it unique. Guests can interact with their brigade of
chefs (and often spot Chef Richard Corrigan himself) – a truly unrivalled, unique dining experience.
The experience voucher includes lunch or dinner for six guests with Champagne and canapés on arrival, personalised
menu cards and a six course tasting menu with matched wines, mineral water, tea/coffee and petit fours. Valid for six
months from 13 July 2018.

A rare trip for four people to the world-famous
Coolmore Stud
Coolmore Stud, based in Fethard, County Tipperary in the Republic of Ireland, is generally acknowledged to be the world’s
biggest, and best, thoroughbred racehorse breeding operation. Set in stunning countryside, Coolmore takes the long
view that as custodians of fine lands they need to enhance the countryside for generations to come. Careful management
ensures that the land continues to offer the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and health of thoroughbreds.
Trees take time to mature, and have lasting effect on the landscape, but the importance for a stud farm is not all about
aesthetics but the shelter from the winter wind and rain and shade from the warm, summer sun. Over the years, thousands
of trees have been planted at Coolmore with 50 acres dedicated to nurseries growing native Irish trees.
In this beautiful setting, you will see many of the world’s greatest stallions, with no less than four Derby winners including
the world’s leading stallion, Gallileo. Six of his best sons, all with impeccable race records and pedigrees stand at Coolmore
for 2018 - Australia, Churchill, Gleneagles, Highland Reel, Ruler of the World and The Ghurkha. Many more famous names
including Mastercraftsman, Rock of Gibraltar, and Holy Roman Emperor await your visit. A private tour of the horses is
followed by a fascinating hosted tour of the Coolmore museum and the day is rounded off with a private lunch at the Stud. A
truly thoroughbred, unmissable experience which money alone cannot buy.

                      at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff on 10 November 2018
                      Wales will face Australia at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, the home of Welsh National Rugby Union, on Saturday
                      10 November during the Under Armour Series 2018.
                      This will be the second of four autumn internationals to be played by Wales in 2018. The two teams will compete for the
                      James Bevan Trophy, which was created in 2007 to celebrate 100 years of rugby between Wales and Australia. The last
                      time Wales beat Australia was a 21-18 victory at the Millennium Stadium in 2008, which, since 2016 has been named for
                      sponsorship purposes as the Principality Stadium.
                      This is a superb opportunity for rugby enthusiasts to occupy six of the best seats at the venue built to host the 1999
                      Rugby World Cup and watch Wales challenge Australia.

A secluded holiday cottage for four people
for three days on the private island of Osea
Step back in time to enjoy a midweek break (Tuesday to Thursday) on the private and genuinely beautiful Osea Island,
just an hour and a half drive from London and located in the magnificent Blackwater Estuary off the coast of Essex.
The whole ethos at Osea is to provide you with an inspiring and secluded environment where you can relax – and
secluded it really is, as this tidal island is only connected to the mainland twice a day for four hours. For the rest of the day
its ancient Roman causeway is beneath the sea’s surface – just one of many magical touches to the place. This is a great
destination for sailing, fishing, cycling, walking, beach lounging or just relaxing with a good book on this peaceful island
with its rich and diverse history, having been occupied for over 5,000 years.
Valid until end June 2019 mid-week subject to availability. Tuesday arrival and Thursday departure subject to tides.

                      The Choir of Westminster Cathedral is recognised as one of the finest in the world. Since its foundation in 1901 it
                      has occupied a unique and enviable position at the forefront of English church music, famous both for its distinctive
                      continental sound as well as its repertoire. The Choir has made regular recordings since its foundation and continues
                      to do so today. Comprising up to 25 boy trebles and altos aged 8-13 and ten professional Lay Clerks, the Choir remains
                      the only Catholic cathedral choir in the world to sing daily Mass and Vespers, whilst also performing concerts at home
                      and abroad.
                      People from all over the world come here to listen to great music from its remarkable and extensive repertoire. Bid for this
                      lot and let this be your opportunity to enjoy an uplifting pre-Christmas musical evening of carols.
