Television personality Angus Ashworth, known to millions for his appearances on antiques shows, will bring a live evening of stories and curiosities to The Kirk Theatre in Pickering on Saturday 1 August, marking Yorkshire Day.
What to expect
Audiences can expect a mix of anecdote and expertise as Ashworth draws on his work as an auctioneer and valuer. The event will feature personal recollections from television sets, insights into memorable auction finds and a chance for the audience to put their questions to him during a live Q&A session. A meet-and-greet after the show will give visitors an opportunity to speak to him in person.
“We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Yorkshire Day than by welcoming TV's Yorkshire Auctioneer, Angus Ashworth, to Pickering,”
Theatre manager Luke Arnold said the performer’s combination of knowledge and warmth has made him a popular choice for audiences across the country.
