Search your attics, rummage through your rails and dust down your family treasures, antiques lovers – hit BBC show Flog It! is coming to town.
TV crews will be filming at De Montfort Hall next Saturday, and are inviting people to turn up with collectibles they are interested in selling.
Hundreds of people are expected to attend the event – and some might end up earning themselves a fortune.
Host Paul Martin, who has been the face of the popular daytime programme for 12 years, said he was looking forward to seeing what people in Leicestershire will bring to the Flog It! table.
"We'll be filming five episodes and we'll have three on-screen experts and four behind the scenes," he said.
"Hopefully, we'll get some items that will tell us a bit about the history of Leicestershire and the surrounding area, and bring the past to life.
"It's a chance for people to put our experts' knowledge to the test.
"So, come along. Bring whatever you can carry, or load the car up.
"We do love furniture but we don't see a lot of it because people can't carry it."
During 945 episodes of the BBC2 show, Paul said he had seen all sorts of weird and wonderful items.
"We see lots of things, from 1970s collectibles to 16th and 17th century items," he said.
"The strangest? A Victorian stuffed two-headed kitten in a glass case.
"That was quite a weird thing. I think it went for about £600, and that was 10 years ago.
"You could quadruple that, now.
"We also had a 17th century Chinese libation cup made from carved rhinoceros horn.
"The owner had been using it as an ashtray. He thought it might go for a few hundred pounds.
"We sold it at auction at Bonhams two years ago and it made £45,000.
"He was very pleased."
Paul will be joined on the valuation day by regular Flog It! on-screen experts Thomas Plant, Catherine Southon and Claire Rawle.
Crews will be filming between 9.30am and 4pm.
Once items have been valued, the owner and the experts decide whether it should go forward for auction.
Items selected will go under the hammer at Gildings Auctioneers, in Great Bowden Road, Market Harborough, on Tuesday, June 4.
"We see all sorts of things and every day is different on Flog It!," said Paul.
"That's why it's lasted such a long time. It's on all over the world – New Zealand, Australia, Dubai, Africa.
"It's an incredible little show. I love meeting all the people who come along, they always have a good story to tell."
With the discovery of Richard III's skeleton underneath a Leicester car park in August making international news, Paul said he was excited to be coming to the city.
"You never know what you might get, you just never know," he said. "What a find that was.
"We're just going to keep our fingers crossed and hopefully get a good turnout.
"There's always someone who comes along with something that's worth a small fortune and they never knew it. That's the beauty of the show."
Everyone who goes along to the valuation day will receive a free valuation – even if their antiques are not chosen to go forward for auction.
