ABOUT US
The Vintage Roadshow: Discover the Value in Your Home
At The Vintage Roadshow, we genuinely love the history, craftsmanship, and stories behind old items. So many homes have incredible pieces of the past tucked away in cupboards, attics, lofts, or garages—often forgotten, but still full of character. We know that finding the right place to sell these items can feel overwhelming, which is why we wanted to create a simple, stress-free way for you to find out what they’re worth.
A family team, on the road for over a decade.
What started as a shared passion for history has grown into a decade-long journey across the country. As a family team, we don’t just view this as a business—it’s our livelihood and our reputation. We know that the items sitting in your cupboards or attics aren’t just ‘stuff’; they are pieces of social history, family memories, and sometimes, forgotten treasures.
Our buyers are specialists in their fields—trained not just in accurate, market-reflective valuation, but in the rich history behind the items we handle. We take the time to look closely, research thoroughly, and explain how we arrived at our figures. When you sit down with us at one of our shows, you are speaking with people who genuinely care about getting things right for you. There is never any pressure, just an honest, transparent conversation about what your items are worth today.

Why Trust The Vintage Roadshow?
- A Decade of Experience: We are a close-knit, family-led team that has been traveling the country for over ten years. We rely on our reputation, which means honesty and fairness are at the heart of everything we do.
- Historical Expertise: Our buyers are genuine specialists. They don’t just look at an item’s face value; they understand the craftsmanship, the era, and the story behind it.
- A Dedicated One-on-One Chat: When you bring your items to us, you aren’t just handing them over a counter. You will sit down with a specialist who will evaluate your items right in front of you, answering any questions you have.
Above all, we care about getting things right for you. Whether you leave with cash in hand or simply walk away with a bit more knowledge about a family heirloom, our goal is to ensure you feel respected and well-informed.

Every valuation we give is transparent and explained. You will always understand how we reached our offer.

A friend wished to sell some items & they showed me the leaflet that was put through their door. The venues were very local & I took along the items for valuation. It was very well organised & the staff were friendly. Colin went through the items & then offered a fair price them. Overall they were very impressive & would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

16 Jun 2026Pleasant, friendly, pressure free transaction
Met with Deborah who was very friendly and welcoming. I didn't feel under any pressure at any time (indeed, I went home with a few items I'd taken with me). I was happy with what I was offered for 'stuff' I'd had for YEARS - much of which I'd never worn. Overall, it was a pleasant start to a Tuesday morning!

Dealing with Colin and his setup was a breeze, pleasant and profitable enough. And it was educational too. I’d certainly recommend using his Vintage Roadshows.
01 Jun 2026I went to one of their road shows
I went to one of their road shows as I had some pieces that I'd been given over some years. I walked in and was greeted by Debbie who made me welcome and looked through my bag of swag as she called it 😁 It was explained that some of the items were EPNS which I suspected but was however given a respectable amount for the good bits. It got them out of my house anyway so I'm more than happy 😊 Thanks Debbie
