👻 OUR SENSORY-FRIENDLY DAY IS BACK FOR 2026! 👻

We've already had lots of lovely messages asking whether we'll be holding our Sensory-Friendly Day again this Halloween…

And we're delighted to say YES, WE ARE! 🧡

📅 THURSDAY 29TH OCTOBER 📍 136 Boslowick Road, Falmouth, TR11 4QF

At Boslowick Halloween Fundraiser, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy a little Halloween magic! ✨

We know that for some children and adults, the flashing lights, sudden movements and spooky sounds can feel a little overwhelming.

💜 That's why we're once again dedicating a day to making our display as welcoming and accessible as possible.

🎃 What can you expect?

🐾 A chance to explore our Halloween garden at your own pace.

🔊 Sounds and lighting can be adjusted to suit individual needs if you contact us in advance.

♿ Wheelchair-friendly access, with wide pathways around the display.

🧡 A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where everyone can enjoy Halloween in their own way.

Our display is open to visitors throughout the day and night, but Thursday 29th October is our dedicated Sensory-Friendly Day.

There's no pressure, no expectations — just come along, explore and enjoy yourselves! 🥰

As always, we're proudly raising funds for The Last Chance Hotel, helping dogs and other animals who need a second chance. 🐾❤️

💜 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! 💜

We'd love to reach as many families as possible, especially those who might otherwise miss out on enjoying a Halloween display.

We can't wait to welcome you! 🎃👻

You may have already heard of the (Society of Independent Brewers) October campaign to , asking the chancellor to lower the Duty rate for draught b**r. This would give some relief to an industry that has suffered severely over the last few years, and ultimately help reduce the price of a pint in a pub.
This Friday 9th October, we have been selected to take part in the day- where we'll be selling drink-in draught b**r at £3.70 a pint. This reduced price reflects what our prices could look like if we paid the same draught duty as our fellow brewers in Germany- and how this could translate to sale prices in pubs. We'll still have takeaway options available as usual, but the discount will only apply to drink in b**r, while stocks last.

🍺 PUBS ARE SO EXPENSIVE: PART 3 🍫

Ok, let’s look at this again, in the only way that EVERYONE understands the economy…

⏳ Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p.
🤩 One hour of work got you 50 Freddos!

Fast forward to 2026…

⏳ Minimum wage is £12.71 and a Freddo is 35p.
😢 One hour of work now only gets you 36 of them!

That's a 152% rise in pay, but a 250% rise in the cost of delicious frog-shaped chocolate bars! 📈

If wages had kept pace with the price of Freddos, the minimum wage would now be £17.68 an hour! 💸

By comparison:

⏳ Minimum wage in 2005 would buy you roughly 2 pints of b**r per hour.
⏳ Now, in 2026, it will buy you about 2.5 pints!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: pubs are not expensive. 📣

The cost of living is horrific. The external pressures on all of our finances right now are soul-destroying. We get it. Everyone is fu***ng skint. Everyone is struggling! 😰

But stop blaming pubs.

We are not being “greedy”.

Most landlords are earning less than ever - personally, I earn less than £6/hr for the hours I work, and I know a lot of publicans are earning even less! 😔

We are effectively subsidising you being able to have a pint!

Because if I charged what I needed to in order to earn a decent wage myself, I’d be selling b**r at £12 a pint right now! 💸😢

TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS BELOW! 👇👇👇
Because I’m, somehow, still getting the “but, they ARE expensive because…” comments! 🙄
