Bargain Hunt heads to Somerset this week, setting up shop at the Bath & West Showground on Friday, June 27, at 12:15 PM on BBC One. This episode, Shepton Mallet 32, blends the usual search for vintage finds with a dash of local history, including a look at the legendary Glastonbury music festival.
Host Christina Trevanion not only guides the teams through their antique hunt but also takes time to explore the history of Glastonbury, adding a touch of cultural background to the proceedings. Experts Kate Bliss and Gary Pe are on hand to offer their knowledge as two teams go head-to-head.
The Red team, comprising music and car fans Trevor and Chris, finds their attention drawn to a fire pit. Meanwhile, Blue team partners Tina and Jim, who enjoy vintage items, pick up what they think is a 1940s handbag—only to find it’s a modern copy.
The episode finishes with the auction at Tim Weeks’s auction house in Chippenham, where the teams learn if their buys will lead to a profit or a loss. Viewers can expect the regular mix of antique acumen, friendly rivalry, and the ever-present excitement of the auction block.
