WHITCHURCH TV star and auctioneer Christina Trevanion has hailed the opening night of a new live tour. 

The Trevanion Auction House managing partner has joined fellow auctioneers, Charlie Ross, Charles Hanson and Philip Serrell on a tour across the different parts of the UK for their first show 'Antiques and a Little Bit of Nonsense' which took place in Canterbury, Kent on Sunday, March 26.

Christina and her fellow auctioneers used the event to share secrets of the antiques world and answer questions.

She said she was pleased with how the first night went.

She said: "We had been rehearsing in the Civic Centre.

"We had our first opening night in Canterbury last Sunday and it was a great success. It went incredibly well and we had really lovely feedback from the audience.
