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.
