The Lighthouse Gala Auction is one of London’s most successful charity auctions. It is held each March in the stunning Great Rooms of Christie’s, St James’s.

Only at the Lighthouse Gala Auction could you bid for a counselling session with Joan Rivers, a date with George Michael, a supporting artiste role in Little Britain, tea with Jeffrey Archer, or shopping at Harvey Nichols with Joan Collins.

Perhaps you’d like to treat yourself to a shopping spree at Villa Moda; or a winter house party in Normandy; or would you prefer a luxury break in Antigua, the Maldives, Bali or Sri Lanka?

Art lover? Take your pick from original works by Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Patrick Lichfield, Wolfgang Tillmans, David Bailey and Mario Testino.

For pure fun-seekers there’s been DJ lessons with Danny Rampling, pole dancing and flying trapeze lessons, nude portrait commissions, and the chance to have your own personal butler for the day.

Still hungry? How about a private dinner at home prepared by Angela Hartnett?

Over the last 12 years we have seen some fabulous and unique lots come under the hammer at the Lighthouse Gala Auction. Its reputation as an outrageously entertaining event has secured its place as a fixture in the calendars of the good and the glamorous.

Importantly, the auction has raised over £2 million for our services for people living with, and affected by, HIV and AIDS.
