About

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW is coming to Buckfast Abbey on Thursday 13
September
What story will you bring?
BBC One’s Antiques Roadshow will be filming at Buckfast Abbey, Devon on
Thursday 13 September.
Fiona Bruce and the team of Antiques Roadshow experts will be waiting to
welcome you, so dust off your family heirlooms and dig out those car boot
bargains and bring them along for free advice and valuations to visitors.
Last year, the programme celebrated four decades on the road with some truly
amazing finds, as presenter Fiona Bruce explains: “Can this year be even better
than our last? We’ll have to go some way to top the most valuable Faberge ever
seen on the programme, a correction to Darwin’s theory of evolution by the great
man himself and one of the best collections of show business memorabilia ever
seen by our experts. 
“But I have every confidence we’ll do it and the thousands of people that come
along to see us will pull some extraordinary things out of their bags/trolleys/bits
of newspaper/suitcases/boats - and one year even out of a cart led by a dog. I
can’t wait.”
Robert Murphy, series producer of Antiques Roadshow, said: “We are looking
forward to welcoming thousands of visitors when we bring Antiques Roadshow
to Buckfast Abbey.
“It promises to be a spectacular backdrop for a memorable show and we’re
looking forward to seeing cherished objects and hearing personal stories from
the people of Devon and beyond.
“It’s a great free, family day out and you can see how we make one of BBC One’s
most popular programmes. Our team of experts are on hand to help visitors
discover the hidden history of their objects – you never know, it might just be
your item that turns out to be something very special and potentially very
valuable!”
Buckfast Abbey celebrates 1,000 years of worship on the site in 2018 and
Antiques Roadshow will be there to mark the occasion. The monastery was left
in ruins by Henry VIII and the present Abbey was built almost entirely by hand at
the start of the 20th century by a small team of monks using traditional methods.
Doors open at 9.30am and close at 4.30pm. Entry to the show is free, everyone is
welcome, and no tickets or pre-registration is required. For parking
arrangements please check our website.

Visitors are welcome to just turn up on the day but they can also share their
stories about the special items they are bringing along using Share Your Story on
the Antiques Roadshow website.
Alternatively, email: antiques.roadshow@ bbc.co.uk or write to Antiques
Roadshow, BBC, Whiteladies Road, Bristol BS8 2LR.

More information, frequently asked questions, and parking information, can be
found at: www.bbc.co.uk/antiquesroadshow or on the show’s Facebook page
