Flog It, the major BBC2 antiques series presented by Paul Martin, regularly gets an audience of 2 million viewers each weekday – around 25% of the television audience.
The Willows Arts Centre will be hosting the Flog It Valuation Day. Rather like a treasure hunt, members of the public are invited to bring along the antiques and collectables they might be interested in selling. Once valued, the owner and team of experts decide whether it should go forward for auction. If the item is chosen it is sold a few weeks later – often with the owner making a tidy sum. Everyone who goes along to the Valuation Day will receive a valuation – even if their antiques are not chosen to go forward for auction.
If you've ever wondered how much those boot sale bargains or clutter in the loft might be worth, now is your chance to find out.
Flog It will be at The Willows Arts Centre, on Sunday 05/03/06 from 9.30am until 4pm. The auction will take place on 28/03/06 at Gilding’s Auctioneers, 64 Roman Way, Market Marborough, Leicestershire. LE16 7PQ and will be broadcast as part of the fifth series later in the year.
