Office Closed on Monday 19th September 2022

As a mark of our deepest respect after the sad death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on the day of her state funeral, Monday 19th September 2022, Sheffield Assay Office will remain closed.

All services will resume as normal on Tuesday 20th September 2022, which marks the end of the period of national mourning.

God bless the Queen. Long live the King.
