Antiques Roadshow is heading for New Lanark!!

Sunday nights for most of year in the UK on BBC 1 at 8pm means only one thing: the Antiques Roadshow. Of course they're already out & filming the NEXT series (which will probably start showing end of 2016) and they are once again venturing into Scotland for one of their days.

The Antiques Roadshow will be stopping off at New Lanark World Heritage Site on the 28th July 2016 between 9.30am - 4.30pm. What makes this more special is that this is the ONLY stop in Scotland for the current series that they are filming.


No tickets are required for the day but they do work with lots of queues (you've probably seen them if you're an avid viewer of the show) so if your thinking of attending then be prepared to waiting for a bit though they do try to get through the queues as quickly as possible. And of course, with it
being Scotland, be prepared for whatever the weather could throw at you. And don't worry, they'll be plenty of helpful stewards around to help you navigate the site too!

In fact, back in 2014, the BBC made a behind the scenes video at their filming in Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow: http://bbc.in/1bIslW7

So why not come along and see it in real life! It should be an interesting day out and a chance for you to maybe see if you have a wee fortune in something.

New Lanark has a dedicated page for the event which will be updated with regards to parking on the day and other arrangements. You can find it here: http://newlanark.org/visitorcentre/antiques-roadshow.shtml

And the BBC has a FAQs section here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4rtf8YKPv6XDbThQMSfWVjX/attending-antiques-roadshow

And another wee note is that the New Lanark will still be open for those not attending the roadshow, but do keep in mind the parking/travel on the day
