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.

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

I wrote a review before and put one but it was a mistake it was meant to be about Richmond antiques so I've put five on this to balance it out

14 May 2026If you are thinking twice just go
I had some gold just sitting about not being worn so took it along to a roadshow in Dulwich and Debbie was amazing. She was reassuring and I felt safe speaking to her. They were professional, honest and made fair offers. I was in and out very quickly and do not regret going.
13 May 2026Nice and easy

06 May 2026Happy customer! with old jewellery cash-in
I was delighted when I got a leaflet through the door about the Vintage Roadshow happening in Teddington, as I had got a small collection of old jewellery ready to cash-in somewhere, but I hadn’t got around to it. I went and was offered a good price for a watch, gold ring and some silver. I saw Deb and the whole thing was done in just a few minutes!! Happy customer 😊

01 May 2026Forgotten items
Took a few items mainly, silver mainly for my parents. I was met by Debbie who after checking the items, took them away to weigh them and chat with her colleague, before coming back with an offer. The items were shut away in draws so the offer was very good and accepted. Great service, thank you. My parents were very happy indeed.

28 Apr 2026Very knowledgable members
Very knowledgable members - I had my coins valued instantly and thought they weren’t worth anything, I had the opportunity to find out.
26 Apr 2026Great Experience
I visited the Roadshow at North St Halls, Hornchurch on 13th of April. Firstly the venue was very inviting, central and easy to find and I was immediately welcomed by a member of staff on entry. I was initially seen by Debbie who was very friendly and professional, and showed a genuine interest in my items, giving me some brilliant advice about their history etc. also showing me a helpful App. that I could use in the future. She was very honest in saying that she wasn’t to sure about the correct valuation of a particular pocket watch that ...
