Antiques roadshow at garden centre (From Leigh Journal)

Antiques roadshow at Bents in Glazebury

4:40pm Thursday 31st January 2013 in News

COLLECTORS will descend on Glazebury next Wednesday (Feb 6) when antiques experts are giving valuations at Bents Garden & Home.

A team from autioneers and valuers Frank Marshall & Co will be led by Nick Hall from TV's Bargain Hunt and Flog It programmes.

Nick and his team from the Knutsford based antiques house will be at the Centre between 10am and 4pm to cast their eyes over hidden treasures and collectables and provide customers with a valuation.

Matthew Bent, Managing Director at Bents Garden & Home, said: “Our first antiques event was a huge success.

“We think it’s a good time of year for an antiques’ roadshow as people often have a sort out following Christmas. They might have found something in the attic whilst putting the decorations away and are wondering if there is any value or history to it. Nick and his team will definitely be able to tell them more.”

The event will be taking place in the Fresh Approach Restaurant. No booking is necessary but valuations cost £2 per item (or collection) with proceeds donated to The Christie, Bents’ 2013 charity of the year. Photographs of larger items for valuation are requested rather than the objects.
