Tortoise Takeover Auction

Grand Gorilla Auction 106

On 21 September, all giant tortoise sculptures will go under the hammer at The Royal Yacht Hotel at the much-anticipated Tortoise Takeover auction with celebrity auctioneer Charles Hanson. 

There will also be a live online auction running in sync with the ‘in the room’ bids meaning you can get your hands on a tortoise sculpture from wherever you are in the world. 

The auction is to raise vital funds to help build a new Tropical House at Jersey Zoo. The Reptile and Amphibian House at Jersey Zoo is home to some of the most endangered species that Durrell works with, but is in urgent need of improved and more sustainable facilities.
