IT’S time to get your antiques and collectibles out of the attic because popular BBC One antiques programme Flog It is coming to Basingstoke.

Flog It – presented by Paul Martin – is now on its 14th series and regularly achieves an audience of over two million viewers in its weekday afternoon slot.

Milestones, Hampshire’s living history museum on Basingstoke Leisure Park, will be hosting the Flog It valuation day on Friday, November 14.

Rather like a treasure hunt, members of the public are invited to bring along up to three antiques and collectibles they might be interested in selling.

Once valued, the owner and a team of experts decide whether an object should go forward for auction.

If the item is chosen, it is included in a sale a few weeks later – and hopefully when the auctioneer’s hammer falls, its owners make a tidy sum.

Everyone who goes along to the valuation day will receive a free valuation – even if their antiques are not chosen to go forward for auction.

The show recently made a significant find when a rare Aboriginal broad shield, that had been kept hidden away in a Flog It viewer’s wardrobe, was brought along to a valuation day in North Lincolnshire and went on to sell at auction for £30,000.

Paul Martin said: “I previously visited Milestones Museum over 10 years ago when Flog It made a film about the evolution of domestic appliances.

“This was very well received by our audience, and I’m delighted to be returning to this fantastic museum.

“Hopefully, as many people as possible will come along to see us with their items for valuation.”

Paul will be joined on the valuation day by Flog It on-screen experts James Lewis, Nick Davies and Elizabeth Talbot.

The BBC are planning to transmit the four editions of Flog It that will be filmed at Milestones within a year of recording.

The Flog It team will be at Milestones, off Churchill Way West, between 10am and 4.30pm on November 14.

The items selected at the valuation day will go under the hammer at Andrew Smith and Sons Auctioneers, The Auction Rooms, Manor Farm, Itchen Stoke, near Winchester, on Friday, December 19.
