ANTIQUES Roadshow expert Marc Allum will be at Devizes School next Thursday (9) from 6.30pm to talk about a book he helped create to mark 40 years of the BBC show.

Mr Allum helped the school realise the importance of its Maria Heathcote giant oil painting that featured on the programme two years ago and money raised on the night will go towards its restoration.

He will give a talk on the book which features highlights from the many programmes including when the Devizes School team appeared from filming at Bowood.

Pupils will also perform and light refreshments will be served. Later Mr Allum will sign copies of the book. Tickets costing £5 are available from the school or Devizes Books.
