Place your bids

Our annual Christmas stamp enlargements auction opens today, Friday 16 November. Click here to view this year’s auction lots and place your bids.

This year’s fantastic selection includes a range of popular stamp designs, including Dad’s Army, Star Wars, and the Royal Wedding. Stamps can be bought individually, with some available as part of a set.

This year, we also have some special items to auction, including a spa weekend for two, a three-course lunch at Restaurant Gordon Ramsey and two Harrods Christmas hampers.

Bidding opens today and closes at 5pm on Wednesday 5 December. Bidders will submit sealed bids through the online form with final bidding at a live auction at 100 Victoria Embankment, London, on Thursday 6 December. Winning bids will be taken at £5 intervals. If, for example, you submit an online bid of £100 for a stamp enlargement, and the highest bid at the live auction is £70, you will win and only pay £75.

The auction is an annual event to raise money for our charity partner, Action for Children. Every penny raised by the auction will be matched by Royal Mail and will help fund the Blues Programme, a preventative, group-work programme delivered in schools by experienced youth workers, in support of young people aged 13-19, who demonstrate symptoms of, or who are at risk of developing, mental health issues.

Winning bidders will be contacted by 5pm on Monday 10 December.
