A NEW TV series presented by Paul Martin of Flog It! will be filmed at Severn Porte, Llanidloes tomorrow.
The series, called Street Auction, will bring a street and a community together in a massive fund-raising effort for a local good cause.
Last month neighbours in the area were asked to donate unwanted and unloved items, which will be sold at a ‘pop-up’ auction, hosted by Paul, right in the heart of where they live.
The auction will form part of a street party with stalls of donated items including cakes, bric-a-brac, books and plants, along with other fund-raising initiatives and entertainment. The stalls will all add to the total being raised and, at the end of the event, the grand total will be announced.
Paul said: “We are really looking forward to it. We met some wonderful people on our rummaging day and it makes you realise how keen people are to help in a community effort.
“It also makes you aware of the things you’ve got lying around that you’d be willing to part with for a good cause! We’ve found some great things in sheds and attics. The fantastic people of Llanidloes have donated some brilliant items – collections of Cranberry Glass through to a hand carved wooden torso, and everything in between!”
“We hope lots of people will come along on the day – and bring something to sell for the fund!”
The event will be held on Severn Porte, Llanidloes on Saturday from 1.30pm to 5pm.
