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. ๐ŸŽƒ Glowing pumpkins in shop windows, crisp leaves underfoot, and trick-or-treat excitement make this one of the liveliest weeks of the year. ๐Ÿ‘ป

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. ๐Ÿฌ

This week we spotlight sugary treasure troves ๐Ÿญ, booklet-out face-painting magic ๐ŸŽจ, and proper small-pub hospitality ๐Ÿบ. Pop in, stock up, and enjoy every spooky minute!
