cressida Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Went to Bents Garden Centre for lunch today, there's a Xmas tree up and tons of Halloween stuff surrounding it, will there be a Bonfire Night - there was nothing for that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellatrix Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Not much money to be made from Bonfire Night, apart from fireworks nearer the time along with stuff like bonfire toffee, parkin and whatnot. People don't decorate for Bonfire Night like they do for Halloween and Christmas, so nothing much to fill the shelves with to generate £££. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be celebrating Samhain on 31st of October ,to 1st November Lancelot brewery in Brittany have a beer called Samhain (the Bretons are Celts) The beer is only brewed once a year, in the night between 31 October and 1 November and they have a festival at the brewery while they’re doing it. The beer is 11,1% to symbolise 1 November. It’s a really tasty beer, we always have one on Halloween to celebrate Samhain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
