We accept cash, credit cards (subject to 2% handling fee) and debit cards.

Vendor Information

All customers wishing to sell at the Carriage & Harness sale should fill in the entry form and return to Silverwoods in advance of the sale (closing date on form) to be included in the catalogue.  As this sale is a catalogued sale, no late entries will be allowed on the day of sale apart from vehicles. Please restrict your entries to driving related lots as we conduct a bi monthly sale for riding tack.
