Local Business Spotlight: Sweets, Paint & Pub Nights

Late October brings a special fizz to Dursley, with Halloween night just days away and half-term families filling the high street. ๐ Glowing pumpkins in shop windows, crisp leaves underfoot, and trick-or-treat excitement make this one of the liveliest weeks of the year. ๐ป
Nobody does occasions like our independents: sweet shops weighing out pick’n’mix by the bagful, a face painter who can turn any child into a tiger, and a micro pub pouring cask ales for the grown-ups once the costumes come off. ๐ฌ
This week we spotlight sugary treasure troves ๐ญ, booklet-out face-painting magic ๐จ, and proper small-pub hospitality ๐บ. Pop in, stock up, and enjoy every spooky minute!
