A television antiques expert who presented a BBC show is set to bring his expertise to Eastleigh in April.

The Flog It! presenter Paul Martin will visit The Point on April 16 for a free community valuation day between 10.30am and 3pm.

The event offers locals the chance to bring their collectibles, silver, gold, jewellery and other antiques to be assessed by Paul.

A Facebook post advertising the event tells residents that can tell the stories of their antiques to Paul and share some local history.

Paul is best known for presenting BBC's Flog It!, Antiques Road Trip, Britain's Hidden Heritage and Paul Martin's Auction Showdown.

The TV presenter said: "Whether it’s a family heirloom, a curious find from a flea market, or an antique that’s been gathering dust, I’m excited to hear the stories behind each piece.

"While I enjoy my TV work, my true passion has always been antiques.

"These events let me connect with people, share in their history, and uncover the stories that make these items special."
