• Baddesley Clinton is a National Trust property which dates back to the 16th century.
• This will be an outdoor event and it will take place principally on the North Lawn, around the moat and in the Walled Garden at Baddesley Clinton.
• Please keep an eye on the weather forecast and wear suitable clothing and footwear for the day.
• In the event of wet weather, some of the Roadshow specialists and their respective queues will be moved under the cover of a marquee which will be in the field adjacent to the event area. However, space will be limited and it may be necessary to queue in the rain if it’s a wet day, but ponchos will be provided!
• All visitors are welcome to bring their family treasures. The event will be open from 9.30am and as long as you are in the main queue to the Roadshow’s Reception Desk by 4.30pm, you will get to meet our team of specialists for the appraisal of your items.
• Light refreshments including tea, cakes, sandwiches etc. can be purchased from the Antiques Roadshow Tea Tent and at the food kiosks in the Courtyard. You’re welcome to bring your own picnic too.
• There is good access for wheelchair users in the grounds and gardens.
• Dogs are unfortunately not permitted within the grounds at Baddesley. However, assistance dogs are of course welcome.
• Smoking is not permitted on the estate.
• Any firearms brought to the Roadshow must have a Firearms Certificate.
• If you have an item with a particularly unusual story, or perhaps an interesting collection, why not let us know in advance. Please contact us via our Share Your Story page.
