FILMING for a popular antiques show is due to take place in our area in the new year.

Antiques expert Drew Pritchard from Discovery Network’s most viewed TV programme Salvage Hunters will be searching the Cotswolds for the best antiques next year and a call has gone out for local businesses or residents who want to feature on the show.

Every episode of the show features Drew visiting a number of locations to find collectable stock to resell.

The camera crew are looking for suitable locations and venues across the Cotswolds to film at.

Recent episodes include visits to Prideaux Place in Padstow, Ely Cathedral near Cambridge and Prestwold Hall near Loughborough. 

A spokesperson for the show said: "We are looking for suitable venues to film at in the Cotswolds, whether that be a stately home, factory, school, museum, or even a private collection at home. 

"The programme typically includes antiques, collectables, decorative items, and other items in all conditions, and we like nothing more than to rummage around, looking for items to restore and give a new life to.

"It might be furniture, old signs, lighting, props, busts, art, anything really.

"Salvage Hunters airs on the Discovery Network across Europe, Australia and the USA airing to over a million people in the UK and millions more worldwide.

"This is a great opportunity to promote your house or business to a broad audience, make some money and celebrate the rich history and heritage of the UK."
