A CUSTOMER from Colerne has won a luxury box of chocolate biscuits in a December prize draw at the John Parker Gallery in Corsham.

BBC TV presenter and antiques expert Paul Martin drew the name of the lucky winner out of a hat on Saturday morning.

Mr Parker, 76, said: “The winner was Martin Strange, a good and valued customer from Colerne, who bought two clocks.

“We decided this year to have a Christmas prize draw instead of one at Easter and entered the names of all our 80 customers in December into the draw.

“Martin will be coming in to receive a box of gift-wrapped luxury chocolate biscuits from Hotel Chocolat.”

Mr Parker sells a wide range of original artwork, limited edition prints, greetings cards, and locally-made soaps and candles in his gallery on Corsham High Street.

Mr Martin, who presented more than 1,200 programmes of the Flog It! TV series, has just opened a new contemporary art and antiques gallery in Corsham High Street.
