The popular BBC series, where experts examine antiques and trinkets, filmed across Sunday and Monday (August 6 and 7) at Roundhay Park. Pictures taken on Saturday showed organisers setting up marquees and making preparations for filming, on fields opposite the park’s popular Lakeside Cafe.
With over 700 acres of parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens, Roundhay Park is one of the biggest in Europe and Friends of Roundhay Park, described the show’s arrival as a fantastic moment for the park, that cements its place as one of the country’s best green spots. Here are some of the best pictures taken from the event...
