Welshpool to host Antiques Road Show

History will be made when the Antiques Roadshow comes to Welshpool this summer, the first time that the show will be a ticketed event in its long and illustrious history.

Fiona Bruce and her BBC team will be filming at Powis Castle and Garden on July 19 and details have been released on how you can book your spot.

For more than four decades the Antiques Roadshow has remained one of the most popular factual programmes on BBC One with some six million people regularly tuning in on a Sunday evening.

The production team is now looking for people to share their stories and apply to bring an item along with them to be valued by their experts. It’s open to everyone, and if your item is selected you'll be automatically allocated tickets in order to come along on the day.
