Llangollen Railway will be featuring on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip this evening (Tuesday).
The heritage attraction will be spotlighted on the show which will be broadcast on BBC2 at 8pm.
The programme sees celebrities and antiques experts set off on a road trip around the UK searching for treasures and competing to make the most money at auction.
On this episode, presenter Gethin Jones and TV doctor Xand Van Tulleken battle to hunt out the finest antique treasures as they cruise across the Welsh border in a couple of classic American motors, guided by experts Irita Marriott and Serhat Ahmet.
Xand and Serhat discover their shared love of ceramics and set out to find the perfect piece to take to auction, while Irita hopes Gethin’s command of the Welsh language will give them an advantage. And there are mind games in the battle of the porcelain pigs.
Taking a break from shopping, Gethin and Irita take a train ride on Llangollen Railway to Carrog to learn about Wales’s railway history.
Meanwhile, the other pair head to Chester to discover the impact the Romans had on Britain’s pottery production, and amateur potter Xand tries his hand at throwing a pot just like an ancient Roman.
