On week two of the four-day roadshow, the Tasmanian community is invited to visit the Longford property armed with the most treasured antiques on Friday and Saturday.
Hosted by antique dealer Kaye Pickett, the weekend will also include a large display of Woolmers' own treasures.
Each afternoon, Ms Pickett will hold a presentation on each of these treasures, informing audiences on their history and purpose. She will also inform audiences what they should be looking for when they make their next antique purchase.
Anyone who takes along their own antiques will receive a free valuation from Ms Pickett.
Having found a 1850s Chinese tear bottle, which was used to catch and store tears when someone cried, she said she was excited to see what she would find this week.
"It went quite well last week. We had some people travel down all the way from Deloraine," Ms Pickett said.
"I try to tell people where their piece came from, how much it is worth and some of its history.
"Most pieces have a wonderful story attached to them."
Ms Pickett said it was always exciting waiting to see what new items would come through the doors of Woolmers Estate.
From china to glassware and artwork, guests are invited to take along any antiques that they would like valued.
The visit will also include a homemade afternoon tea served in front of a warm fire in the estate's servants' kitchen.
The Woolmers mini antique roadshow will be held on July 24 and 25 at 2.30pm.
Entry is $25 a person. For more information or to book, call the Woolmers Estate on 6391 2230.
