Chesterfield Antiques Centre filmed for popular BBC programme

By Dom Stevens -

Antiques Road Trip, the popular BBC One antiques programme, were filming in Chesterfield on Sunday 9 April.

Antique expert, Roo Irvine, arrived at the Chesterfield Antique Centre in a vintage blue triumph stag along with a BBC film crew and a handful of money to explore the centre for distinctive antiques.

Filming took place across both floors of the shop on Park Road off New Beetwell Street, with Roo learning about a variety of antiques unique to the town.  The team then took the items off to auction in London to compete against fellow antique expert Phil Serrell.

Wendi Lindsay, joint Owner of Chesterfield Antiques Centre, said:-

“It was a fun day and an insight into how the programme is put together – hopefully the centre will enjoy further visits or filming in the future.”

The episode is expected to air when the new series is launched in July but this has not yet been confirmed by the BBC.
