About Tattersalls - Europe's Largest Bloodstock Auctioneers
Tattersalls was founded in 1766 by Richard Tattersall and is the world's oldest bloodstock auctioneers. The first premises were near Hyde Park Corner, London. When the lease came to an end in 1865, the premises were moved to Knightsbridge.
Tattersall's remained a family business into the 20th century. In 1965 it introduced bloodstock auctions at Park Paddocks, Newmarket. The famous arch was moved from Knightsbridge and now dominates the car park. Some of the greatest thoroughbreds in racing have been sold at Tattersalls. The horses are still priced in guineas (originally 21 shillings and now one pound and five pence), which is possibly the only contemporary usage of this once common monetary unit. You do not have to be a buyer to attend the sales. Visitors can sit in the magnificent sale ring and watch the proceedings unfold. Why not combine a morning at the sales with an afternoon at Newmarket races.
