BBC Antiques Roadshow
09 Sep 2010
BBC One’s ever popular Sunday evening programme Antiques Roadshow will be filming its 33rd series at Blair Castle. The event will take place in the south-facing private gardens to the rear of the castle (not normally open to the public).
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.
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 or e-mail them to: antiques.roadshow@bbc.co.uk. It may be possible to arrange to look at the item in advance and organise transportation to the venue.
Series Editor Simon Shaw says: “The team are all looking forward to visiting such a splendid venue as Blair Castle. It’s always exciting to see what will come to light on the day. We regularly see between 1500 and 2000 visitors on the day. Despite the high turnout everyone will get to see an expert.”
Please note: Blair Castle and gardens will be open as normal throughout the day.
