The nation’s favourite treasure hunt is coming to town.
The iconic Antiques Roadshow is heading to Valentines Mansion & Gardens in Redbridge on Sunday 7 June, promising a day of fascinating discoveries, remarkable stories and hidden treasures.
Antiques Roadshow is a much-loved and long-running British television classic, produced by the BBC, combining human-interest storytelling, fascinating history and the thrill of discovering hidden treasures. Each year, the show’s expert appraisers travel to stunning historic locations across the country to uncover the stories behind antiques, heirlooms and curious collectibles brought in by members of the public.
This summer, that journey brings them to one of Redbridge’s most beautiful historic settings built in around 1696 and beautifully restored in 2009, Valentines Mansion is a magnificent Grade II* listed building — a fitting and atmospheric backdrop for the Antiques Roadshow.
Martin Solder, Chair of Vision Trustees, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Antiques Roadshow to Valentines Mansion & Gardens this summer. The programme is a true national treasure, and hosting it here in Redbridge is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our borough’s rich heritage. We look forward to welcoming residents and visitors alike for what promises to be a fantastic and memorable day.”
Councillor Kam Rai, Leader of Redbridge Council said:
“What an accolade for our borough. But we know this is well-deserved. Valentines Mansion is a beautiful, historic and fitting backdrop to The Antiques Roadshow and we are excited to see what local people bring for the experts to see, and the stories that are told through them. I’m proud of the jewels in Redbridge’s crown and it’s great to see Valentines Mansion being chosen by such a respected programme.”
