It might be time for people to rummage around their lofts and see what antiques they can rustle up because Flog It! presenter Paul Martin is visiting the town. 

The well-known TV antique expert is hosting an event within the Swindon Borough with members of the public encouraged to take their rare finds to a free community valuation day at the Saracen's Head Hotel in Highworth on May 1. 

The valuation day is being run in partnership with Devizes auctioneers Henry Aldridge & Son, where Paul is head of valuations.

It will take place between 10am and 3pm and aims to encourage members of the public to bring something along and find out whether or not they might have been sitting on an unknown fortune. 

Paul has been a TV presenter and expert for over twenty years on programmes including, The Antiques’ Road Trip, Flog it! and Countryfile. 

And he has a new series the Great Auction Show Down with Paul Martin going live on Channel 5 in May.

But in the meantime, he is keen to see what Highworth can produce. 

"The day in Highworth is going to be so interesting," said Paul, "I’m very much looking forward to the community valuation day in Highworth. And I can’t wait to see what people choose to bring along."
