Capture the magic with Rayban Meta!

A Halloween weekend in Castle Douglas, pumpkin carving, a trip to Ernespie Farm, and lovely food and drink supplied by some of our favourite local businesses!

Henderson Butchers for some lovely juicy steaks,
The Galloway Tap (Beer Without Borders) for some delicious local craft beers,
Harris&Co for a beautiful custom hamper with some Prosecco, red wine, and snacks,
The Cake Lady for some sweet treats,
All enjoyed at The Byre farm holiday
Trip to Ernespie Farm to finish the weekend, and to top it off the sun was shining!

Our window has gone frightfully festive for Halloween — cobwebs, creepy crawlies, and a few resting souls keeping an eye on things. 👻

Don’t let your vision become a horror story — come in for an eye test before the ghosts of blurry sight come to haunt you! 🕸️🧙‍♀️

Pop by, peek through our spooky display, and keep those peepers pumpkin-perfect! 🧡

✨Purcells in the Community✨

Our team member Sally had a great time on Monday volunteering at Stepping Stones Community Larder & Foodbank on St Andrews Street right here in Castle Douglas!

A great resource right on our doorsteps for that little helping hand and it’s available to EVERYONE! Leanne and the team there do such an amazing job for the community 👏🏻👏🏻

Mitchell and Sally then popped down on Wednesday morning with a donation that we know will be put to great use by this lovely group!

At Purcells we love to give back to the community, reach out to us if you know of a worthwhile cause! 🤗🤗
