A talk by the charismatic Mark Hill - you might recognise him from the BBC's *Antique Roadshow* and the *Antiques Road Trip*.

A persuasive introduction to buying antiques and integrating and using them in today’s homes. Mark looks at the state of the antiques market and what current and future generations of collectors are buying, why they are buying it and how they are displaying it.

After gaining a BA in History of Art & Architecture, Mark worked at auction houses Bonhams and Sotheby's. He runs his own publishing company writing books on emerging specialist subjects in the decorative arts. As well as his TV appearances, Mark has lectured at the V&A and world-wide.

This illustrated talk is part of a series of monthly Monday talks by top notch experts in their field run by **the Arts Society, Southampton** and held in **Thornden Hall in Chandlers Ford** (plenty of parking and on the No 1 bus route).

**The talk starts at 19.30 but please arrive before that to sign in ; the bar will be open from 18.45 and members can get a free Xmas drink.**

Visitors can attend single lectures for £8 (payable at the visitor desk near the entrance; card only) or become a member of the Arts Society nationally for £46.00 to enjoy lectures, a quarterly magazine, visits, bulletins and more. Last month's returning visitors can have their £8 deducted on taking up membership.

Details of future programmes and how to become a member are at [https://www.theartssocietysouthampton.org.uk](https://www.theartssocietysouthampton.org.uk/)

I'll be milling around and will look out for any who sign up -if you can't see me, ask at the signing in desk!
