BBC Antiques Roadshow coming to Blair Castle


Blair Castle is delighted to announce BBC ONE’s ANTIQUES ROADSHOW will be at Blair Castle, on Thursday, 9th September, 2010. The doors open at 9.30 am and close at 4.30pm. Entry is free.

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.”

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.

Sarah Troughton, Head Trustee of the Blair Charitable Trust said “The great variety
of objects that appear on the Antiques Roadshow make this programme absolutely
fascinating, I am delighted they have chosen to hold a show here.”

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.
