Antiques Break with Paul Martin
This spring, Budock Vean Hotel & Spa near Falmouth welcomes broadcaster, author, and antiques expert Paul Martin for a memorable evening on the tranquil Helford River.
Join us on 27th March 2026 for a one-night Antiques Break with Paul Martin, combining a delicious three-course dinner with an illuminating talk and Q&A in the calm surroundings of our country house hotel.
Well known to many as the long-standing host of BBC’s Flog It, Paul Martin has also been a resident expert on Antiques Road Trip and Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, most recently leading Channel 5’s Paul Martin’s Antiques Showdown.
Educated locally at Falmouth Grammar School and Falmouth College, Paul is a lifelong antiques collector, having travelled the UK uncovering remarkable pieces and the craftspeople behind them.
During the evening, Paul will share the inspiration behind his book My World of Antiques, offering a glimpse into the stories, characters and fascinating finds gathered throughout his career. You will also receive a signed copy of the book to take home – a memento from a unique night at Budock Vean Hotel & Spa.
Enjoy our hotel facilities throughout your stay, including complimentary membership to the Natural Health Spa. Spend time unwinding in the pool and outdoor hot tub and extend your relaxation with 10% off any spa treatments booked in advance. Explore the subtropical gardens or make the most of the 9-hole/18-tee golf course, snooker room, and all-weather tennis courts.
On the 27th March we will also be running our Paul Martin Antique Valuation and Afternoon Tea event from 11am–3pm. Purchase a ticket and bring your cherished item to receive a personal valuation by Paul Martin, and enjoy a delightful afternoon tea of homemade treats.
