FLOG It, the popular BBC One antiques programme presented by Paul Martin, is set to visit Cornwall on Thursday, June 1.

The Bristol-based BBC production recently transmitted its 1000th episode and the 16th series is currently being recorded. The show regularly achieves an audience of more than two million viewers in its weekday afternoon slot.

Boconnoc House, near Lostwithiel, will be hosting the Flog It valuation day. Members of the public are invited to come along with up to three antiques or collectables they might be interested in selling. Once valued, the owner and a team of experts decide whether an object is filmed and it gets sent to Clarks Auction Rooms in Liskeard for inclusion in their sale on Thursday, June 22.

Everyone who goes along to the valuation day will receive a free appraisal of their items — even if their antiques are not chosen for filming or to go forward for auction.

Flog It has made many significant finds over its sixteen series including, in North Lincolnshire, a rare Aboriginal Broad Shield that had been kept hidden away in a viewer’s wardrobe before being brought along to a valuation day — it went on to sell at auction for £30,000!

Flog It experts also discovered an unusual Royal Doulton Spook figurine in Blackpool which had been bought at a car boot sale for £2; it went on to sell at auction for £5,000.

The BBC will be making four editions of the show featuring Boconnoc House and they will be transmitted within eighteen months of recording. Paul Martin will be joined at the valuation day by on screen experts Jonathan Pratt, Catherine Southon and Nick Hall.
