A POPULAR model town is set to appear on TV today (Wednesday, September 15).

Wimborne Model Town will feature as part of Antiques Road Trip, which will be broadcast on BBC One at 4.30pm.

The volunteer-run vintage charity attraction is the backdrop for presenters Irita Marriott and James Braxton in an episode recorded earlier in the year.

The episode will see the antiques experts set off on a road trip around the county searching for treasures and competing to make the most money at auction.

A spokesman for Wimborne Model Town said: “The team arrived in a classic Volvo P50 and had a good look around our miniature buildings with Irita taking a shine to the antiques shop in Cook Row and venturing inside the 1/10th scale Minster."

The popular attraction will also be the host of the Mini Steam & Vintage Day on Sunday, September 19. A number of classic cars, motor bikes, a vintage bus and mini traction engines will be in attendance.
