TELEVISION auctioneer Adam Partridge is returning to Dulverton next month to host a fun valuation day when Exmoor residents can find out how much their treasured possessions might be worth.

It will be the third visit by Adam Partridge Auctioneers after Visit Dulverton added it in 2023 to the range of annual events it organises for the town.

Adam is well known as a regular face on television programmes such as Antiques Roadshow, Flog It!, Antiques Road Trip, and Bargain Hunt.

He and his auctioneer experts will be in Dulverton’s historic Town Hall on Saturday, March 29, to give visitors an idea of the value and history of their items.

There will also be a fun free competition at the event, when visitors will be asked to guess ‘What is the antique item?’ with three unique and unusual antique items on display.

Competitors will be asked to write down what they believe the item to be, and what was its original intended use.

Town Mills B&B, of Dulverton, has provided a bottle of wine as a prize.

Local Dulverton businesses, including Oggies Music Shop, Simple Hide Leather Goods, and Tim Venning, of ‘Tim’s Workshop’, will be attending and displaying and selling a selection of upcycled and repurposed items for the home, from musical instruments to bags made from old saddles.

Visit Dulverton spokeswoman Ali Pegrum said: “Why not bring along your jewellery, fine art, and collectors’ items, you may be surprised at their value.

“All for a donation of just £5 for a maximum of three portable items per person that are small enough to carry.

“No pre-booking required, just a first come, first served simple ticketed system on the day.

“For those wishing to sell items, the auctioneers will be able to accept pieces on the day for future specialist auctions.”
