🎃👻 HALLOWEEN AT THE FORESTERS! 👻🎃

Right, Downend… we have a confession. 🤣

Tomorrow is HALLOWEEN, and have we got all our decorations up yet?

HAVE WE BUGGERY! 💀😂

Michelle has clearly been slacking this year… apparently moving house is a perfectly acceptable excuse. 🙄📦🤣

BUT… while the decorations are still waiting for their big moment, somebody’s been busy getting the important stuff ready! 👀🥃

💥 HALLOWEEN SHOTS: JUST £2 A SHOT! 💥

Yes, you read that right. £2 A SHOT! 🎃🔥

And before you ask, yes… some of you eagle-eyed lot have ALREADY spotted the bottles lined up behind the bar! 👀🤣

You thought we hadn’t noticed you noticing? We see EVERYTHING! 😂

So get your Halloween outfits on, drag your mates down, and come and join us for a Saturday with a little spooky spirit… quite literally! 👻🥃

🎃 Halloween vibes
🥃 £2 shots
🍻 Your favourite local
🤣 And Michelle trying to convince everyone she’s got everything under control!

🎄❤️ A LITTLE CHRISTMAS MAGIC FOR A VERY SPECIAL CHARITY ❤️🎄

Right, Downend… we’ve got something rather lovely happening at The Foresters! 🎁✨

Just look at this Christmas hamper! 🎅🏼 Packed with festive goodies, wrapped up with a big red bow, and ready to find a lucky winner. But this one is about something much bigger than what’s under the wrapping…

We’re raising money for Raeyah’s Hands of Support, a very special charity created in memory of little Raeyah, who sadly lost her life to childhood cancer aged just four. ❤️

Her family have turned unimaginable heartbreak into something beautiful by continuing her legacy, helping children with additional needs who are undergoing cancer treatment. Their sensory and entertainment packages bring comfort, distraction and little moments of happiness to children and families facing incredibly difficult days. ❤️

And now, we want to do our bit to help!

🎟️ CHRISTMAS HAMPER CHARITY DRAW! 🎟️

🎄 £2 per ticket
🎄 £5 per strip
❤️ EVERY PENNY RAISED GOES TO RAEYAH’S HANDS OF SUPPORT!

📅 DRAW DATE: FRIDAY 18TH DECEMBER! 🎁

The hamper is already made up and sitting proudly on the bar, so pop in, have a look, grab your tickets and help us support a charity doing something truly meaningful. ❤️

You don’t need to win the hamper to make a difference. Every ticket helps us support the work this charity does for children and their families.

Let’s show what our Downend community can do when we pull together! Whether you’re popping in for a pint, a game of pool, or just passing by, come and get involved. 🍻❤️

📍 The Foresters, Downend, Bristol

🎄 A little Christmas kindness can go a long way. ❤️

Please share this post, spread the word, and let’s get behind Raeyah’s Hands of Support. Every ticket counts! 🎟️❤️

🌺❤️ AT THE FORESTERS, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. ❤️🌺

With Remembrance Day approaching, we believe it’s important to take a moment to remember the men and women who have served, sacrificed and lost their lives protecting the freedoms we have today.

🌺 POPPY APPEAL AT THE FORESTERS 🌺

We have poppies available at the bar with the donation tin and are ready for anyone who would like to contribute.

Whether you wear your poppy with pride, make a donation, or simply take a moment to remember, every gesture matters.

There are things that go beyond pubs, politics and everyday life. Remembering those who gave so much should always be one of them. ❤️

So, if you’re visiting us, please help yourself to a poppy and donate if you’re able to. Every contribution towards the Poppy Appeal is appreciated.

🌺 WE REMEMBER. WE RESPECT. WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 🌺

❤️ Lest we forget. ❤️

🚨🤣 RIGHT, DOWNEND… GEORGE HAS GOT SOMETHING TO SAY! 🤣🚨

🖤💛🚨 DOWNEND… CANCEL YOUR EXCUSES. WE’VE SEEN THEM ALL BEFORE. 🚨💛🖤

🎧👑 THIS FRIDAY… IT’S A VYBE AT THE FORESTERS! 👑🎧

DJ DAN J 🆚 DJ GARNS
🔥 OLD SKOOL vs NEW SKOOL 🔥
⏰ 8PM–12AM

Two DJs. Two eras. One dance floor. And absolutely no reason for you to be sat at home staring at the same four walls like you’re waiting for them to offer you a better personality. 🤣💀

We’re talking the tunes you KNOW every word to, the tunes you forgot you knew every word to, and the tunes that will have you throwing shapes you definitely won’t be explaining to your physio on Monday. 💃🕺😂

🎶 OLD SKOOL vs NEW SKOOL

One minute you’re reliving your glory days. The next you’re attempting to prove you’re still down with the kids.

Spoiler alert, Brenda… your knees may have other plans. 💀🤣

But that’s the beauty of The Foresters. Nobody’s judging your dance moves. We’re far too busy judging our own. And if you end up dancing like a malfunctioning garden sprinkler, congratulations, darling. You’re bringing the entertainment. 😂😂😂

🍻 THE DRINKS WILL BE FLOWING.
🎧 THE TUNES WILL BE HITTING.
💃 THE DANCE FLOOR WILL BE WAITING.
🖤💛 THE ATMOSPHERE? THAT’S WHAT WE DO.

And before someone comments, “There’s nowhere decent to go in Downend…”

Have you tried actually GOING somewhere, darling? 🤣💀

Because we’re right here. We’ve got the DJs, the music, the drinks, the pool, the darts and a whole lot of personality packed into one proper pub.

You can stay home scrolling through everyone else’s Friday night, obviously.

Or you can get yourself down here and give people something to be jealous of. Just a thought. 😏🍻

📍 THE FORESTERS, DOWNEND
🎧 IT’S A VYBE
🔥 OLD SKOOL vs NEW SKOOL
🕗 FRIDAY | 8PM–12AM

👑 YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT HAS A DESTINATION. MAKE IT THE FORESTERS.

And if you’re new around here, hit that FOLLOW button, because we’re not about to let you miss the next event and then have you crying into your cuppa because nobody told you. 🤣☕

👉 FOLLOW THE PAGE. TAG YOUR CREW. SHARE THE POST.
👉 SEND THIS TO THE MATE WHO ALWAYS SAYS THEY’RE COMING AND THEN DISAPPEARS. We know you’ve got one. We all bloody do. 💀😂

14/10/2026

🖤💛🚨 WELL, WELL, WELL… WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! 🚨💛🖤

YES, YOUR EYES ARE WORKING. NO, YOU HAVEN’T DRUNK THE SPECIALS BOARD. AND NO, WE HAVEN’T BEEN REPLACED BY A CHEAPER PUB. 🤣🍻

INTRODUCING… THE FORESTERS SATURDAY SPECIAL! 👑✨

Because apparently we’ve decided to be generous, and frankly, who are we to argue with ourselves? 😂

🍺 ALL DRAUGHTS: £4
🍒 NATCH CANS: £2
🎱 FREE POOL: 12PM–4PM

📅 EVERY SATURDAY
⏰ 12PM–4PM

That’s right, you lovely lot! Come and enjoy a few drinks without your bank account immediately filing for divorce. 💀

And because cheap drinks clearly weren’t enough to tempt you off your sofas, WE’RE UNLOCKING THE POOL TABLE FOR FREE TOO! 🎱

No coins. No excuses. No standing around saying, “I would have come in, but…” Darling, we’ve literally removed another excuse from your already extensive collection. 🤣

Round up your mates, dust off those questionable pool skills, and get yourselves down to The Foresters.

Whether you’re a pool shark or someone who thinks the cue is merely an optional accessory, there’s room for you here. 😂🎱

🍻 CHEAP DRINKS. FREE POOL. SATURDAY AFTERNOON SORTED.

📍 THE FORESTERS, DOWNEND

Now SHARE THIS with your mates, because we’re not having you turn up Monday asking why nobody told you. The poster is right there, Brenda. USE YOUR EYES. 👀💀🤣

Your Saturday plans have officially been made. You’re welcome, darlings. 🍻

13/10/2026

🚨🖤💛 DOWNEND… CANCEL YOUR EXCUSES. WE’VE MADE PLANS FOR YOU. 💛🖤🚨

You can sit at home watching the same four walls, scrolling through Facebook and wondering why you’re bored…

OR YOU CAN GET YOUR ARSE TO THE FORESTERS. 🤣🍻

We’ve got TWO nights coming at you, and quite frankly, your sofa has had enough of you.

🎧🔥 FRIDAY 16TH OCTOBER | IT’S A VYBE 🔥🎧
🖤 OLD SKOOL VS NEW SKOOL 💛

We’re bringing the beats, the bass and the battle of the tunes with DJ DAN J & DJ GARNS on the decks!

🕗 8PM–12AM

Old-school anthems? New-school bangers? Tunes that’ll have you saying, “THEY DON’T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE!” before immediately dancing to the next one? 😂

EXPECT BIG TUNES, BIG VIBES AND ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT IF YOUR DANCING LOOKS LIKE YOUR LEGS ARE HAVING AN ARGUMENT WITH EACH OTHER. 💃🕺🤣

🎶🔥 SATURDAY 17TH OCTOBER | FORESTERS DISCO 🔥🎶

We’re keeping the party going with another night of music, dancing and questionable decisions that will absolutely be blamed on the DJ. Obviously. 😏🤣

🕗 8PM–12AM

Grab your mates, get dressed up, warm up those dancing feet and prepare to demonstrate exactly why nobody should ever be allowed to film you after your third favourite song comes on. 💀😂

🍻 WHY THE FORESTERS?

🖤 Great drinks
💛 Great music
🎱 Pool table
🎯 Darts
🎶 Free jukebox
🔥 A proper pub with proper people and a party atmosphere!

Whether you’re a regular, haven’t visited us in ages, or have somehow been hiding under a rock in Downend, WE WANT TO SEE YOU!

📍 THE FORESTERS, DOWNEND, BRISTOL

Tag your usual suspects below 👇
Share this with the mate who says they’re “too old for all that” but is ALWAYS first on the dance floor. 🤣

And if you’re reading this thinking, “Might pop in for one…”

WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT BLOODY STORY ENDS. 🍻😂

🖤💛 THE FORESTERS. A PROPER PUB FOR PROPER PEOPLE. 💛🖤

FRIDAY 16TH: OLD SKOOL VS NEW SKOOL.
SATURDAY 17TH: FORESTERS DISCO.

Two nights. One pub. Plenty of reasons to get out of the house.

NOW SHARE IT, TAG THEM, AND SORT YOUR WEEKEND OUT! 🤘🔥🤣

04/10/2026

🌙🖤 AND THAT, MY LOVELY LITTLE NIGHT CREATURES, IS SUNDAY.

The drinks are winding down.
The sport has been argued over.
The poker faces have been deployed.
Someone has probably blamed the referee.
Someone else has definitely said “last one” approximately six times. 🤣

Thank you for another bloody brilliant weekend.

But now…

Tomorrow is October 5th.

Sleep tight.

Don’t look under the bed.

Don’t check the corners of the room.

And whatever you do…

don’t assume everything will still be where you left it.
