Inspired by the chancellor's 'Eat Out To Help Out' scheme, the travel industry has created the Holiday To Help Out scheme. Thornbury's C The World hopes this will create similar excitement about travel and encourage you to chat with them about booking your next holiday. For clarity, this is not a Government backed scheme.
Holidays booked between 2nd - 8th November will benefit from a significant discount, deal or special offer, depending on where you go and what you want to do. Contact C The World so we can find the best deal for you - there's never been a better time to book a holiday!
You may remember that the Armstrong Arts Group was aiming to present Michael Lunts and his show, “Christmas Crackers”.
Yes, you know what’s coming. We are sorry to say that due to Covid restrictions, the event will have to wait until another festive season. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas anyway – even without Michael!
From now until Christmas The Art Barn Thornbury is happy to open for people who want to remain isolated but yet still do a bit of shopping where you can actually see the items you want to buy rather than, 'hope for the best' by shopping online.
We sell not just Art but a variety of gifts including woodwork, re-cycled lamps, feltwork, sculptures, fused glass, pottery, mosaics, cards and Christmas cards and much, much more. Click below for more...

Berkeley Castle has been approved as 'Good to Go' by Visit England, so you can be reassured that the attraction fulfills all government safety guidelines.
There's nothing like a fun day out to re-charge the batteries so they're exceptionally excited that their family-friendly Halloween activities are going ahead as planned during half-term.
Join them from Sunday 25th to Wednesday 28th October for terrible tales, gruesome gags and scary stories. Can you think of a spookier atmosphere than the ancient castle where King Edward II was notoriously murdered in 1327?
Daneel Cluer is looking for a lift club for her children in the afternoon from Patchway to Littleton-upon-Severn. If you can help, please email below.

Thornbury based music charity Thornbury Musical Theatre Group is looking for help from a local scaffolding business:
"We have a valuable collection of costumes belonging to both the adult and junior groups, and they need to be brought together into a clean and dry environment to protect them. One day we will be able to use them again and bring high quality musical theatre back to Thornbury. We just need some scaffolding erected as the framework for a dry store and we will do the rest. Any offers of help please contact us. Thanks. Geoff 07855 300483”
During the run-up to Christmas Thornbury & District Museum is inviting children to sprinkle some Glitter and Sparkle over Santa and a Christmas Tree! There are three pictures for you to choose from in each age category and you can use any or all of them to colour and decorate with lots of sparkle and bling!
There are two age groups:
SANTA PICTURE – children aged 5, 6, 7
CHRISTMAS TREE PICTURE - children aged 8, 9, 10
The winners will receive a £5 voucher from Horders! The competition will be posted on the Museum Facebook Page at the beginning of November 2020 so keep a lookout for it!
As a result of Covid, Tytherington Village Shop has been forced to revise the shop hours until further notice.
They are also on the look out for new volunteers, as some long serving members are unable to participate due to the current circumstances.
They are delighted that during these challenging times the shop has been a focal point of the village and busier than ever! Click below to read more...
