BBC ONE's ever popular Sunday evening programme ANTIQUES ROADSHOW will be filming for its 35th series at Stowe on Thursday 19 July 2012. The doors will open at 9.30am and close at 4.30pm. Entry to the show will be FREE.
This will be presenter Fiona Bruce’s fifth year with the Roadshow and she says, 'Presenting the Antiques Roadshow is, for me, one of those rare and very lucky coincidences in television when you get to work on a show that you already love to watch. Exploring the human story behind every object is what makes Antiques Roadshow so fascinating. And everyone loves the agony and ecstasy of the 'what's it worth?' moment. The Antiques Roadshow isn't just about antiques - it is history, beauty and drama all wrapped up in one.'
Some of Britain’s leading antiques and fine arts specialists will be on hand to offer free advice and valuations to visitors, who are invited to raid their attics and bring along their family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot bargains for inspection by the experts.Series Editor Simon Shaw says, 'The team are all looking forward to visiting Stowe House. It’s always exciting to see what will come to light on the day. We regularly see between 1,500 and 2,000 visitors on the day. Despite the high turnout everyone will get to see an expert.'
People with large pieces of furniture or other big items can send details and photographs of their objects to: ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, BBC, Whiteladies Road, Bristol BS8 2LR
It may be possible to arrange to look at the item in advance and organise transportation to the venue.
