IT'S time to raid the attic, check the garden shed and inspect the garage as the Antiques Roadshow is coming to Mole Valley.

If you have bought a car boot sale bargain and you're not sure if it's a priceless collectable, then Polesden Lacey will be the place to visit in May.

The Antiques Roadshow team will be coming to the stately home to film an episode of the popular TV series and hopefully unearth a treasure to make someone's day.

Presenter Fiona Bruce will join experts at the station on May 16, and members of the public are being invited to help kick off its 36th series.

Series editor Simon Shaw said: "Fiona and the team are really looking forward to their visit.

"Although we can never predict what will come to light, every show brings big surprises, which is what makes working on the show so exciting.

"So, on behalf of all of the experts, we're asking the people of Surrey to dig out your treasures."

The doors open at 9.30am and close at 4.30pm – entry is free and the entrance will be clearly sign-posted from the approach roads.

The long-running show's presenter, Fiona Bruce, said: "This will be my sixth year on the Antiques Roadshow and I still feel so lucky to be presenting the programme.

"Every week is different; a new location and thousands of new visitors. The only constant is the pleasure of the unexpected – we never know what will turn up, from the most fabulous Faberge to the most humble object with a riveting story."

People with large pieces of furniture or other big items can send details and photographs of their objects to: Antiques Roadshow, BBC, Whiteladies Road, Bristol BS8 2LR or e-mail them to antiques.roadshow@bbc.co.uk

It may be possible to arrange to look at the item in advance and organise transportation to the venue.
