The hammer will fall at 12 noon on Sunday (13 March) on eight fantastic lots.

Glyndebourne, the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are just a few of the organisations who have supported the University of Sussex by offering a host of unique experiences for auction.

Lots include private tours and recitals for up to six guests as well as VIP tickets to and receptions at the Southbank Centre and the Barbican. 

View the lots and place your bids here. You could soon be treating your friends, family or colleagues to an incredible experience.

The auction concludes at midday on Sunday 13 March, following the sold-out Meeting House organ concert on Saturday hosted by acclaimed British composer and conductor John Rutter OBE and award-winning actress Patricia Routledge OBE.

Both the auction and concert are raising funds to endow music scholarships in memory of the University's first music tutor, resident organist and choir master, Dr John Birch. John designed the Meeting House organ with architect Sir Basil Spence in 1965 and devoted over 20 years of his life to teaching and performing music on campus. You can read more here about Dr John Birch's legacy at Sussex.
