Calling all Ed Sheeran fans! We have something just ‘Perfect’ for you!

We’re excited to announce our friends at Bishop & Miller Auctioneers will be hosting a special online fundraising auction for us this June, featuring over 200 incredible items donated by Ed Sheeran to our Martlesham Retail Centre – and you’re invited for an exclusive first look at our special pop-up preview event!

Providing the ‘perfect’ warm-up to Ed’s homecoming gigs at Portman Road, this July, our one-day preview event will feature a range of items kindly donated by the Suffolk singing superstar, for you to see up close.

Join us at our Martlesham Retail Centre (Gloster Road, Martlesham IP5 3RD) on Saturday 31 May, from 9am to 5pm, for this exciting sneak peek – ahead of the auction in June, all in support of St Elizabeth Hospice and our young adult service, Zest.

From trainers, jackets and t-shirts, through to artwork and a dressing gown – even a pair of his branded ‘budgy smugglers’!

There really is something for everyone and plenty for Ed’s fans – aka ‘Sheerios’ – to enjoy and place all-important bids on, as the lots go under the hammer as part of the online auction which will run from 31 May until 15 June.

Clare Chater, Director of Income Generation at St Elizabeth Hospice, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Ed for generously donating such a fantastic collection of items for the auction – which will be a really special opportunity for Ed Sheeran fans.

“Our thanks also go to Bishop & Miller for hosting the auction, which will generate essential funds for our services.

“Each year, our hospice team supports thousands of people across East & Mid-Suffolk, Great Yarmouth, and Waveney. We rely on donations and fundraising to continue this vital work, and every penny raised from the auction will directly benefit those in our care.”

Oliver Miller, Managing Director of Bishop & Miller Auctioneers said: “Once again Ed has been very generous to the hospice and we are delighted to be doing something a little different this time.

“A pop-up shop gives everyone the chance to take a look at what has been donated and the objects you can potentially bid on.

“We also love to support the hospice with their fundraising and we can’t wait to see how this pop up shop and online auction goes.”
