Lister Park and Cartwright Hall 1

The roadshow visits Lister Park and Cartwright Hall in Bradford, where treasures include a sketch by John Lennon and a miniature cavalry sword gifted by Queen Victoria.

The roadshow is in Yorkshire at Lister Park and Cartwright Hall in Bradford, City of Culture for 2025.

Wayne Colquhoun is thrilled to see a sketch by John Lennon, while Steven Moore discovers a vase that has been languishing under the owner’s kitchen sink for years, which turns out to be worth a small fortune.

Robert Tilney is intrigued to see a miniature cavalry sword, commissioned and given as a gift by Queen Victoria, while Joanna Hardy is delighted to see a unique brooch by one of her favourite jewellery designers, Andrew Grima.

The work of Yorkshire-born furniture maker Robert Thompson is always a popular draw at the roadshow. Famed for his handcrafted oak pieces marked with his signature carved mouse, there’s no shortage of Thompson’s work on Ronnie Archer-Morgan’s table.

Drawing inspiration from Bradford’s Asian community, Runjeet Singh challenges Fiona Bruce to guess some mystery items, and inside Cartwright Hall, Fiona meets local artist Razwan Ul-Haq, whose work as part of Bradford’s City of Culture explores the ancient tradition of Islamic calligraphy.
