Get your items valued by TV antiques expert this autumn
Do you own an item that you think might be valuable or perhaps a family heirloom that you've always wondered about?

If so, bring it along to the Trestle Market in Leek this October when TV antiques expert Charles Hanson will be in town to value your treasured possessions.
A familiar face from popular programmes including Bargain Hunt, Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip, Charles and his team will be taking over the Trestle Market between 1pm and 3pm on Friday 10 October - and you're invited to bring along your items to find out more about them and have them valued.
The Trestle Market has been re-purposed as a flexible space to host events such as this, as well as markets and community activities following a £3.4 million makeover led by the District Council.
Councillor Matt Swindlehurst, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Tourism, said: "We're delighted that the investment we've made in transforming the Butter and Trestle markets has really given them a new lease of life.
"They're thriving, vibrant places that provide great opportunities for businesses, exciting, new places to eat and drink, and space for rent by communities and event organisers.
"We're very pleased to be welcoming Charles and his team in the autumn - and who knows what treasures we might find right here in the Moorlands!"
Charles added: "We're thrilled to be coming to the Trestle Market and spreading and sharing our passion for meeting people, and our interest in objects, antiques and jewellery." Find out more about hiring the Trestle Market.
