Salvage Hunter Drew Pritchard will do something he has never done before this year. The Conwy antiques dealer has had a remarkable career and remains a TV favourite.
He has had a busy couple of years after announcing that he had bought a property that he is now renovating over the border in Bath.
But in 2025 he will try his hand at something new with a series of talks about his life and career. These will take place in March – with three dates over in England. If these are a success it could potentially see a bigger tour.
He said: “Well this has been ticking along in the background for more than a few months and today you can buy tickets to come and see me talk about my life and career in the antiques world.
“I’ve never done anything like this before but I’m thrilled to tell you all about my passion and love off history, architecture, interior decoration, antiques great and small, classic cars, & music, finding lost pieces, my greatest discoveries and everything else in between.
“I’m excited and not a little nervous! It would be lovely to meet you.”
Tickets are on sale with https://www.fane.co.uk with dates in Somerset, Norfolk and Suffolk.
