Martin Roberts - A Life in Books

Martin Roberts – My Life in Books

14:30-16:30 Sunday 29^th November 2026, The Assembly Rooms, Torquay Town Hall. Tickets between £8.00 -£20.00

Martin Robert’s is the legendary presenter, property expert, entrepreneur and author, probably best known for presenting BBC One’s Homes Under the Hammer since 2003. Martin will choose six books that he loves, or have influenced his life, as we learn more about the man. Martin’s own book ‘Making Money from Property’ was a hugely successful guide to the everyday investor. However, he is equally passionate about encouraging reading in children, best illustrated by his own range of children’s ‘Villes’ books, which are aimed particularly at helping 6-9 year olds with problem solving. (further details at:thevilles.com/).

We will also talk about his long and varied broadcasting career, which spans from the early year’s of presenting ITV’s ‘Wish You Were Here’; to entering the jungle in ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’. You can also ask questions in the second half of the talk – and not just about property!

Come and meet Martin, who will be signing books towards the end of the event.
