A personalised outgoing voicemail message from a tennis legend, a decadent afternoon tea at the emporium of a celebrity cake maker and a backstage meet and greet with one half of Australian duo Kath & Kim after a performance of her latest show are just three of the of the lots in this year’s Stonewall silent auction.
 
The silent auction – which raises funds for Stonewall’s Education for All programme that tackles anti-gay bullying in Britain’s schools – is open to bids from everyone.
 
Among the auction prizes are a tailored voicemail message from Martina Navratilova, Gareth Thomas offering to speak at an event  or a three-course dinner with Paul Gambaccini followed by personal access to the live broadcast of his Radio 2 show America 's Greatest Hits.
 
For those interested in food and wine there's a natural wine tasting for up to twelve people with France's first female Master of Wine, Isabelle Legeron; a gourmet treat for eight from Eric Lanlard, Master Patissier, at his emporium; and a six-course dinner for six people in the winner's kitchen.
 
Adrenaline junkies are catered for too, with a lot for a day on the trophy winning racing-yacht Night Owl. The entirely gay-skippered and crewed yacht will take the winner on a trip on the Solent around  Cowes .
 
Theatre lovers can bid for tickets for the forthcoming show, Holding the Man complete with a backstage meet and greet with the cast including Jane Turner, who’s making her  West End debut following her international success as Kath in Kath & Kim.

Michaela Greene, Stonewall Deputy Director of Fundraising, said:
"There’s something for everyone in this year’s silent auction. Money can’t buy some of these lots and each bid will go help grow our Education for All campaign, stamping out anti-gay bullying in our schools. Some bids are for groups of people – so why not buddy up with your friends and send a group bid."
