The picturesque, lush hills of mid-Wales set the stage for an exciting antiques hunt in this episode of Bargain Hunt. The Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells hosts a massive antiques fair, attracting two teams of friends eager to unearth hidden treasures.
On the red team: Ali and Gilly from Wiltshire, united by their shared passion for historical re-enactments. They’re strategically guided by expert Kate Bliss, aiming for a profitable outcome. On the other side, we have the blue team, comprised of pals Karl and Malcolm, who forged a friendship through an online pub quiz. Their captain, expert Izzie Balmer, is determined to steer them toward success.
As the clock starts ticking, Ali from the red team sets her sights on a modern globe, but Kate has her doubts about its resale value. Meanwhile, the blue team takes a playful detour with a game of bagatelle, causing a slight delay in their hunt. Their attention is soon captured by an unusual police truncheon.
Plus, Danny presents an intriguing mystery object that sparks curiosity among fairgoers. The auctioneer, Gareth Wasp, joins Danny in Royal Wootton Bassett, where two unique musical bonus buys take centre stage at the auction.
