IT'S time to dust off your treasures for a great free day out as BBC One's popular Sunday evening programme Antique Roadshow visits the West Somerset Railway.

Presenter Fiona Bruce and the team of experts will be at Minehead Railway Station on Wednesday, May 17, from 9.30am to 4.30pm.

Entry is free, everyone is welcome and no tickets or pre-registration is required.

Many of Britain's leading antiques and fine arts specialists will be on hand to offer free advice and valuations to visitors, who are being invited to raid their attics and take along their family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot sale bargains.

Fiona Bruce said: "The best part of working on Antiques Roadshow is that we never know who or what is going to turn up on the day.

"The visitors, the objects they bring, their stories and the location all combine to make a fabulous experience that we aim to capture for the viewers.

"If you are a fan of Antiques Roadshow, curious to see behind the scenes, or just fancy a day out, I would urge you to dig out your treasures and come along - we'd love to see you."

Antiques Roadshow will be at Minehead on the 40th anniversary of the very first programme, when the cameras rolled at Hereford Town Hall on May 17, 1977.
