The show is filmed all across the UK, at beautiful sites such as Aston Hall in Birmingham, Portchester Castle in Hampshire and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Can anyone apply to be on Antiques Roadshow?

Anyone under the aged of 18 must be accompanied by an adult if they are to present an item to the Antique Roadshow experts.

While in previous years the public were encouraged to apply to be audience members, health and safety restrictions have changed this year due to the on-going pandemic.

The events for this year will be invitation only, based on whether or not your item submission has been successful.

If your item is shortlisted for filming, someone from the Antiques Roadshow team will be in touch to invite you to a filming date at your preferred location.

Antiques Roadshow is on BBC One Sunday nights at 7pm, and can be watched on BBC iPlayer now.
