Quintessentially Foundation’s annual silent auction has opened its doors to a carefully curated collection of over sixty prizes, each selected to offer the kind of refined experiences that define life at the highest echelon. Benefiting The Fayre of St James’s 2026, the auction channels every bid toward The Firefly Project, the Foundation’s cornerstone initiative dedicated to supporting young Londoners navigating the complexities of poverty.
The calibre of offerings reflects both the breadth of Quintessentially’s cultivated network and a genuine commitment to meaningful philanthropy. A three night sojourn at San Canzian in Croatia beckons those seeking Mediterranean serenity, whilst closer to home, an overnight stay at Corinthia London paired with dinner at Kerridge’s delivers London hospitality at its finest. For those drawn to the countryside, The Ark in Somerset provides a week long retreat, and Palé Hall in Snowdonia offers three nights within the Welsh landscape.
Culinary experiences punctuate the collection with particular generosity: a four course lunch with wine pairing for two at Frog by Adam Handling, the Michelin starred establishment, alongside a Fortnum and Mason Burlington hamper for those who prefer to orchestrate their own elegant spreads. Cultural pursuits are equally represented through two tickets to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show Preview Gala Night and VIP hospitality for Oasis Live’27 at The Etihad, where two tickets grant access to one of the year’s most coveted moments. Those inclined toward tradition might bid for Ladies’ Day at Ascot, viewed from the Quintessentially box, where the spectacle of racing and refined company converge.
All proceeds benefit The Firefly Project’s work on behalf of young Londoners, making each winning bid an investment in genuine change. The auction runs through the Quintessentially Foundation’s online platform, with the full prize list accessible through their official channels.
