SOME hidden treasures could be discovered when the Antiques Roadshow comes to Hatfield House.

The BBC One show’s experts and presenter Fiona Bruce will be dropping by the stately home on Thursday, July 15.

Series editor Simon Shaw said: “The team are all looking forward to visiting such a splendid venue as Hatfield House.

“It’s always exciting to see what will come to light on the day.

“We regularly see between 1,500 and 2,000 visitors on the day. Despite the high turnout everyone will get to see an expert.”

Some of the country’s leading antiques and fine arts specialists will be on hand to offer free advice and valuations to visitors, who have raided their attics for family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot bargains for inspection.

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 email antiques.roadshow@bbc.co.uk

It may be possible to arrange to look at the item in advance and organise transportation to the venue.

On the day of filming, doors will open at 9.30am and close at 4.30pm.

Entry to the area where recording is taking place is free of charge – although admission to Hatfield House is �5.
