AN on-screen regular on the Antiques Road Show, Bargain Hunt and Flog It! will offer a free valuation at a special event in Swindon on January 11 in aid of Prospect Hospice.

Thomas Plant, a partner and auctioneer at Special Auction Services, will estimate the worth of guests’ antiques and family heirlooms at the Jury’s Inn, Fleming Way, next month.

The valuation will be followed by a paid-for presentation. All proceeds from the talk will go to the charity.

It will be the first in a series of charity events by SAS to raise funds for the hospice.

“This is an opportunity for anyone to come along and find out more about that item in the cupboard, bottom drawer or attic. Come along, meet me and my team and find out more about your stuff,” Thomas said.

The valuation will be held from 10am until 1pm. Tickets to the talk, at 2pm, cost £5 and are available on 01635 580595 or www.specialauctionservices.com.
