“Bargain Hunt” is going on a seaside holiday! This Friday, Christina Trevanion brings her infectious enthusiasm to Blackpool, Lancashire, for a special episode dedicated to all things travel and holiday-related collectibles. Forget porcelain dolls and dusty furniture; this time, it’s vintage postcards, quirky souvenirs, and maybe even a piece of Blackpool rock that will catch the eyes of the teams.
Beyond the thrill of the auction, Christina takes a detour to Showtown, Blackpool’s museum dedicated to the town’s history as a Victorian holiday hotspot. It’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane, exploring the heyday of this iconic seaside resort, once known around the world for its tower, illuminations, and other attractions.
And what would “Bargain Hunt” be without a bit of expert advice? Stephanie Connell, Ben Cooper, Nick Hall, Caroline Hawley, Roo Irvine, and Catherine Southon are all on hand to lend their expertise, offering insights into the sometimes baffling world of antiques. Plus, the episode features a trip down memory lane, revisiting past purchases to reveal which items brought in the biggest profits. Who knew a tacky souvenir could turn into a treasure? Tune in to BBC One this Friday, April 4th at 12:15 PM for some holiday-themed antique hunting fun.
