Our salerooms are spacious and modern, sensitively converted in 2023 to echo the local architecture. We’re fully air-conditioned for comfortable sales year-round.
The historic market town is famous for how the local community honoured those soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 'Royal' title was granted in 2011 to recognise this, making Wootton Bassett the first town to receive this status in over 100 years.
Royal Wootton Bassett is located just off J16 of the M4, providing easy access from London and the west of England. We are only six miles from Swindon, served by trains on the Great Western Main Line.
You will find abundant onsite customer parking near RWB Auctions, including three electric vehicle charging points, ready for you to enjoy a day in the Royal town.
