A renowned antiques expert and TV presenter will be visiting Dorchester for a special auction to raise money for a homeless charity.

James Braxton, who has appeared on BBC's Antiques Road Trip, and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, will be visiting the Duchess of Cornwall Inn in Dorchester for a charity auction.

It will be held on Thursday, July 11 starting at 6.30pm. Items up for auction include holiday breaks and original art.

All money raised will go to The Lantern Trust which helps vulnerable and marginalised people in the Weymouth and Portland area.

The independent charity was founded in 1983 and this year Cllr Jon Orrell who was elected as the Mayor of Weymouth on May 14, has named it as his chosen charity of the year.
