Charity auction gives fans the chance to win a two night stay in Matt Damon's plush Dalkey home

Fans of Matt Damon will have a chance to stay in the Dalkey home the Hollywood superstar is living in during lockdown thanks to an amazing charity auction.

The Oscar winner has been living in the seaside town since last month after filming on his new film The Last Duel was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.

He has since been staying in a plush pad owned by Formula One star Eddie Irvine in the seaside town - and fans will have the chance to bid on a stay in the amazing home.

Wilsons Auctions are hosting A Bid For Kindness in aid of charities who have seen their funding streams drop due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Some of the charities set to benefit from the auction include the Marie Keating Foundation, Mencap Northern Ireland and Cancer Fund for Children.

As well as the chance to stay in the Contagion star's temporary home, other lots include:

  • A Johnny Sexton Ireland shirt
  • A personalised video message from Packy Lee, actor who plays Thomas Shelby's right hand man, Johnny Dogs, in Peaky Blinders
  • A Carl Frampton signed boxing glove and signed Michael Conlon boxing shoes and vest from 2015 World Championships
  • Tickets to Premier League Liverpool Football Club match and Ireland v England 2021 Six Nations match in Dublin
  • Golfing memorabilia including a signed Open Portrush golfing umbrella with over 50 golfing legends’ signatures, signed Rory McIlroy flag and signed Lee Westwood Ryder Cup flag
  • Art pieces including an at-home experience with Belfast-based artist AJ Laird and a bespoke city skyline painting from British artist Ben Mosley

The online auction will take place on Friday, May 1.
