Popular TV antiques expert Paul Martin will be sharing his knowledge and experience with residents of Westbury on Tuesday 8th April, by hosting a free community valuation day at Leigh Park Community Centre on Leigh Park Way, Westbury.
The valuation day, which is being run in partnership with Devizes auctioneers Henry Aldridge & Son, for which Paul is Head of Valuations, will take place between 10:30am to 3pm and is intended to encourage members of the public to bring along items they’ve always been curious about for discussion, valuation, and possibly sale.
Paul would be delighted to see items ranging from antiques, collectables, silver, gold, militaria, and jewellery.
The event is part of a series of valuation days run by Paul in his role with Henry Aldridge & Son, and Paul says he is eager to uncover the fascinating treasures that the people of Westbury will bring along.
Paul commented, “Westbury is a beautiful town in the South West with a historic background, which no doubt will be not only incredible artefacts, but amazing stories as well. I can’t wait to hear the community history of this great town.”
Westbury is a market town in west Wiltshire, which lies on the edge of Salisbury Plain. The town is known for its annual Hill Fair where sheep were sold in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, resulting the town being a key railway intersection in the South West.
Debbie Cole, Centre Manager of Leigh Park Community Centre, said “We are over the moon to be hosting Paul Martin’s Valuation Day and excited to see local people gather for such a unique experience. Hopefully, we’ll reveal some hidden gems!”
The valuation day gives locals the opportunity to have their items appraised by an expert and gain insights into both their historical and monetary value.
“Whether it’s a family heirloom, a curious find from a flea market, or an antique that’s been gathering dust, I’m excited to hear the stories behind each piece,” said Paul.
“While I enjoy my TV work, my true passion has always been antiques. These events let me connect with people, share in their history, and uncover the stories that make these items special.”
Paul, best known for presenting the BBC show Flog It!, is also a familiar face on Antiques Road Trip and Britain’s Hidden Heritage, and also hosts Paul Martin’s Auction Showdown on My5.
