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.

Why it matters locally
Although the event is in North Yorkshire, it will attract visitors from across the region. Events like this are part of a broader calendar of cultural nights that support local theatres and help sustain small towns by bringing in audiences who spend on travel, food and other local services. For those with an interest in antiques or television production, the show offers an accessible way to hear first-hand about the antiques trade and the making of popular programmes.
Tickets are available now and, given the theatre’s warning that the show often sells out, anyone planning to attend should secure places without delay.
