Our Location

Mark Hill Auctions is located inside the Grade II Listed Georgian Corn Exchange building, in the heart of the historic Pantiles. Built in 1802, the building has served for over two centuries variously as theatre, a corn exchange, a military drill hall, a shopping arcade, and an auction house. Now called The Pantiles Arcade, it is a thriving antiques centre containing leading dealers offering thousands of antiques, artwork and vintage pieces. The Pantiles, in Royal Tunbridge Wells, became a popular entertainment and shopping resort during the Georgian period, following the discovery of the health-giving Chalybeate Spring in 1606 by a courtier of King James I. The town's status was enhanced by 'celebrity' visits over the centuries from Queen Henrietta Maria, Dr Samuel Johnson, the actor David Garrick, the dandy and fashionista Beau Nash, and Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The town gained its 'Royal' title in 1909 from King Edward VII, due to the patronage of the royal family. Much of the charming original Georgian architecture and layout survives today and the beautiful, tree-lined conservation area is now full of bars, restaurants, cafés, boutiques and more, making it one of the top destinations to visit in Kent - the 'Garden of England'. Come and visit us to browse a range of top quality antiques for sale or to be sold by auction, or get a free valuation, and then enjoy a drink or meal, or performance amidst Georgian splendour. Make a day of it!
