Spa day, but make it Peter Rabbit! 🐰🧖🎨
Our @officialpeterrabbit sculptures are getting a little TLC ahead of the Farewell to the Fluffle Weekend and Peter Rabbit Grand Finale Auction. A touch-up here, a brushstroke there, and they’ll soon be looking hop-tastic and ready for their big moment!
A super-sized thank you to our wonderful maintenance artists, who have generously given their time and talent to get our fluffle looking their very best. 💙
Now they’re looking fresh, fabulous and ready to hop back into the spotlight one last time!

For our final lot, we’re going out with a sparkle! ✨
Meet Ruby, our little @officialpeterrabbit-shaped mirrorball who’s ready to bring the auction to a truly dazzling finale! 🪩🐰
Dressed from head to toe in shimmering red, silver and gold sequins, Ruby Rabbit was specially commissioned to celebrate @stoswaldsuk’s Hospice’s 40th birthday. She’s bold, glamorous, unapologetically sparkly and, let’s be honest, she was made for the spotlight. ❤️
A huge thank you to @greggs_official for sponsoring Ruby Rabbit, helping even more of the money raised at our auction go towards supporting St Oswald’s Hospice patients and families.
So, who’s ready to raise their paddle and give Ruby Rabbit a home where she can keep on shining? 🏠
Bid online or in person, with all the details via the link in our bio.

Small rabbit. Big reputation. 🐰
Lot 39 might be a familiar face, but this time @officialpeterrabbit™ comes in a slightly smaller package!
The iconic Classic Peter Rabbit, who we all know and love, has hopped into our auction as one of our special smaller lots.
One of Beatrix Potter’s most famous creations, this little rabbit may be cute, charming and just a tiny bit mischievous…but we promise he’ll be on his very best behaviour for his new fur-ever family! 💙
Could Classic Peter Rabbit be hopping home with you? 🏠
Bidding is open now! Hop to it and find all the details, including how to place your bid, via the link in our bio.

Some-bunny’s heading to the seaside! 🐰🏖️
If you’re a fan of our beautiful Northumberland coastline, you’re shore to love this very special sculpture.
Created especially for our auction, Beachcombing with Peter is a celebration of one of the most beautiful parts of our region, capturing the peace, charm and natural wonder of a day spent exploring the coast.
Artist Daniel J. Weatheritt has used a soft palette of blues, browns and yellows to bring the shoreline to life, with seals, rockpools and coastal treasures just waiting to be discovered. 🦭🌊🐚
His familiar shape may be unmistakably @officialpeterrabbit, but take a closer look and you’ll sea that his body and famous blue jacket have been transformed into a beautiful Northumberland coastal scene.
It’s a little piece of the seaside to enjoy at home, whatever the weather. No wellies required!
Could Beachcombing with Peter be hopping home with you? 🏠
Check out Lot 38 and find out how to bid in person or online by clicking the links in our bio.
