THOUSANDS of people will descend on the Roundhouse as the BBC's Antiques Roadshow comes to Derby on Sunday.
Some of Britain's leading antiques and fine-arts specialists will be on hand to offer free advice and valuations from 9.30am until 4.30pm.
The show, now in its 37th series, sees folk raid their attics and take along their family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot bargains for inspection by the experts.
Presenter Fiona Bruce said: "This will be my seventh year on the Antiques Roadshow and I still feel so lucky to be presenting the programme.
"Every week is different; a new location and thousands of new visitors.
"The only constant is the pleasure of the unexpected – we never know what will turn up, from the most fabulous Fabergé to the most humble object with a riveting story."
Series editor Simon Shaw said: "Fiona and the team are really looking forward to their visit to Derby. Although we can never predict what will come to light, every show brings big surprises, which is what makes working on the show so exciting.
"So, on behalf of all of the experts, we're asking the people of Derby to dig out your treasures."
The event is expected to be very well attended and those wanting to drive to the Roundhouse are advised to arrive early.
Roadshow visitors will be directed initially to Car Park 1 which is located close to the Roundhouse.
Once full, drivers will be directed by stewards to additional spaces nearby.
Parking spaces are also available at the Park and Ride, next to the iPro Stadium and buses run regularly from Derby Bus Station through Pride Park. Arriva runs services 44 and 45 but visitors are advised that the first bus is not due to depart until 9.54am.
Parking for the disabled is located in Car Park 1. Apart from guide dogs, no dogs are allowed in the Roundhouse.
