A BBC TV antiques expert has officially opened a new retirement community in Studley.

David Harper cut the ribbon at Priory Place, a retirement living development on Alcester Road.

Guests at the event, including homeowners from Priory Place and their friends and family, heard first-hand from David about his work as an antique expert and had the opportunity to pose questions to him about his experiences and forthcoming projects.

Attendees were also able to take a tour of the development.

Louise Flynn, divisional marketing manager at McCarthy Stone, which manages Priory Place said: “The opening of Priory Place was a fantastic occasion, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed meeting David and learning more about his fascinating career on and off-screen.

“The community here is a lively and welcoming one, and there is still the opportunity for local retirees to find their dream home and make the most of their retirement years at Priory Place.”
