THE Commandery Museum will be holding a free prize draw-bridge to win a traditional toy castle.

Application forms are available at the museum and the king of the castle will be named on Thursday, December 20.

"We offer Christmas presents with a difference," said Pat Laidler, the museum's retail assistant

Over Christmas, the Commandery will be selling books, games and traditional toys, as well as knights, dragons and wizards.

On Thursdays December 6, 13 and 20 the museum will be open for late-night shopping and visitors can enjoy mulled wine and a mince pie in the Great Hall.
