The BBC are still looking for stories from local people for when the Antiques Roadshow visits Kenilworth Castle to film for their next series.

Back in July, English Heritage announced that the BBC program would be visiting Warwickshire.

They did however stipulate that "in light of the Government's recent advice on COVID-19, and in consultation with our venue partners, we are unlikely to be able to film on the scale we are used to."

As a result of this, the Antiques Roadshow are asking for local people to submit their stories in advance of filming.

They will then be able to select the stories that they want to feature, and guests will be allowed to attend the castle by invitation only.

"To make this work we really need to know in advance about the items you were planning to bring along," said the BBC.

The episode had initially been intended for Coventry Cathedral, however the venue was changed to the Castle, away from the busy city centre as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

This is the thirteenth series of the program, and filming is due to take place on 8th September.
