Are you looking for toy auctions? At Bourne End Auction Rooms, we hold regular online toy auctions that feature a wide selection of vintage, collectible, and rare toys. Whether you’re a lifelong collector or just starting out, our toy sales are open to everyone and packed with items from every era. We’re proud to be considered one of the best toy auction houses in the UK, known for our knowledgeable team, fair valuations, and well-organised events.

Collectors from across the country (and even further afield) keep an eye on our upcoming toy auctions, which often include everything from classic action figures and tinplate toys to die-cast cars, retro games, and boxed sets. We know how strong the nostalgia is for childhood toys, and that’s exactly what makes these auctions so interesting, there’s always a chance to rediscover something you loved or finally track down that one piece you’ve been hunting for.

We list all of our upcoming sales right here on our site, and because we’re a fully accessible toy auction site, you can browse lots, leave bids, or join the action live from anywhere. Our team handles each consignment with care and transparency, whether you're buying, selling, or simply browsing for the next gem in your collection.

Doll Auctions – Local and Online

If you’ve been searching for local in-house and online doll and teddy auctions, you’re in the right place. Bourne End Auction Rooms regularly features specialist doll auctions, offering a fascinating mix of vintage and antique dolls that appeal to collectors of all types. Whether you're into Victorian-era porcelain dolls, mid-century play dolls, or more recent classics like Barbie, Sindy, or Sasha, you’ll find an interesting range to explore.

Many of our lots come from private collections and estates, with dolls often in original clothing or packaging, perfect for those who value condition and provenance. Alongside the dolls, we often include soft toys like Steiff bears and vintage teddies, all of which are hugely popular with collectors and bring back fond memories for many.

Our auctions are open to both in-person and online bidding, so whether you’re local or logging in from further away, it’s easy to take part. We aim to make every auction approachable and enjoyable, whether you're adding to a lifelong collection or simply curious to see what's on offer.

Toy Train & Antique Toy Auctions

Our antique toy train auctions often include a standout selection of trains and railway models, which makes them a must-watch for fans of vintage rail. From classic toy train auctions to detailed model train auctions, these sales are known for their depth and variety. We regularly see pieces from well-known makers like Hornby, Tri-ang, Märklin, and Bachmann, including both boxed sets and individual engines, rolling stock, and accessories.

We cater to collectors of all gauges, O, HO, N, and more - and regularly feature layouts, buildings, scenery, and railway ephemera. Whether you're searching for a rare locomotive, a complete set, or just a few pieces to complete a layout, our train auctions are worth keeping an eye on.

These vintage models aren’t just children’s toys, they’re beautifully engineered items with decades of history behind them. That’s part of the reason they’re so sought after by collectors, hobbyists, and even interior decorators looking to add a retro touch. Every sale is a chance to discover something unexpected, and our knowledgeable team is always happy to offer advice on value, condition, and collectability.
