As an expert, Paul will value a range of objects including antiques, collectables, silver, gold, militaria and jewellery.
This event is one of many valuation days organised by Paul in association with Henry Aldridge & Son. He expressed his anticipation in seeing what the people of Ludgershall, near Salisbury Plain, will bring along.
Martin, known for presenting the BBC show, Flog It!, is also recognised for other TV shows such as Antiques Road Trip, Britain’s Hidden Heritage, and Paul Martin’s Auction Showdown.
Mr Martin said: "Hosting events like these in Wiltshire is truly wonderful.

"This region is rich in history, and its residents are exceptionally generous with their time and curiosity. I am certain we will come across some fascinating items and gain valuable insights from the stories behind them."
Susan McShane, owner of Dolly’s Vintage Tea Room, said: "We’re very excited to be hosting Paul Martin and his valuation day. We’ve not hosted something like this before, and I haven’t had the chance to meet Paul. Both myself and our customers are very excited to meet him.”
"Given the depth of the local history, we're always anticipating the unexpected," Paul said. "Wiltshire is home to families with roots tracing back generations, so it wouldn't be surprising to encounter heirlooms linked to the area's rich heritage."
