A MUCH-LOVED BBC antiques programme is set to host a valuation day at Croome.
BBC One’s Flog It! presented by Paul Martin, will visit the National Trust site, near Malvern, on May 26, where visitors can take along up to three antiques or collectibles they might be interested in selling.
Once valued, the owner and a team of experts including Adam Partridge, Natasha Raskin and David Fletcher, will decide whether an item should go forward for auction.
The show, which is in its 15th series, will be aired within a year of recording.
Alex Habgood, series location manager said: “Paul Martin and the entire Flog It team are really pleased to be bringing the show back to Worcestershire.
“Croome will provide the perfect setting for our valuation day and our experts are all looking forward to welcoming people along for their free valuations. If you’ve ever wondered how much your boot sale bargains or clutter in the loft might be worth, now is your chance to find out.”
Mr Martin said: “I’m delighted to be bringing Flog It to Croome. Last time we visited Worcestershire we received a really warm welcome and I hope when we return in May as many people as possible will come along to see us with their items for valuation.”
The event will run from 9.30am and 4pm and all the items selected will go under the hammer at Littleton Auctions in Middle Littleton on Thursday, June 16.
Croome’s park and lakeside are open from 10am to 5.30pm and Croome Court is open from 11am to 4.30pm every day.
