Barnard Castle Auction Mart

Good place to sell. Only open when there is stuff to sell like poultry or plants. Cafe is ok.

I have never visited a mart with an Auctioneer with such an obnoxious attitude. Unfortunately when visiting the mart today with the intention to purchase, I had not preregistered my intention to buy. I had not seen the catalogue or facebook prior to attending and take full responsibility for not adhering to the Covid Rules the Mart had in place. What I was disgusted with was the way in which myself and husband were spoken to by the Auctioneer, we were made to feel like second class citizens for that fact I don't have facebook and don't read newspapers and hadn't looked on the website. As a business you need to be mindful that not all farming families live in a world of technology and most farmers don't have time to read newspapers or have a good enough broadband signal. We would of been happy to have been turned away this morning due to the Covid rules in place but I would point out that this could of been expressed with a professional attitude and not one that was displayed. Reluctantly the Auctioneer did say we could attend, however, following the very unpleasant conversation we decided to take our business elsewhere.
