TV auctioneer Charles Hanson to host free valuation event

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 13:01 · Archive

TV auctioneer Charles Hanson will lead a free antiques valuation event at Saint Catherine's Hospice in Scarborough on 30 October.

A free antiques valuation event led by TV auctioneer Charles Hanson and his team will take place at Saint Catherine's Hospice in Scarborough on Friday 30 October from 2pm to 4pm. Members of the public are invited to bring antiques, jewellery, watches, gold and silver, textiles and other collectibles to the hospice's educational area for expert appraisal.

Hanson is known for his appearances on BBC shows including Bargain Hunt and Flog It!. He heads a network of 12 auction houses across the UK and is expanding into North Yorkshire with a new location set to open in Harrogate later this year. He also hosts a new television series called Secrets of the Auction House, which follows him and his team uncovering forgotten antiques.

Hanson said he finds pleasure in helping people discover the value of items they own. 'North Yorkshire is rich in history and heritage, making it a treasure trove for antiques,' he said, adding that 'sometimes the most valuable finds are the things people least expect.' He shared an example from a previous event where a family brought a blue-and-white Chinese vase known as 'Aunt Beryl's vase' which turned out to be rare and later sold for £800,000.
