ANTIQUES Roadshow experts will be on hand to value items during an event at Bournemouth's Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum.

Members of the public are being asked to take along portable items for valuation on Friday September 20.

Marc Allum will give a talk, sharing stories and anecdotes from his longstanding time as an expert on the iconic show, and Lee Young and Lisa Lloyd will share and discuss their favourite pieces from the Russell Cotes collections.

Tickets are £30 to include drinks, canapés and free valuations, and can be bought online at russell.cotes@bcpcouncil.gov.uk or on 01202 451820.

This special fundraising event is being run in partnership with Duke's Auctions and all proceeds support the conservation, preservation and display of the Russell-Cotes and its contents.
