Kids celebrate spooktacular craft event with Newbury Metro Bank
From Monday 25th – Sunday 31st October, the UK’s community bank, Metro Bank, will host its annual Halloween family event with a creepy craft activity for kids.
Newbury Metro Bank will offer a craft activity either instore or as a take away craft bag. Kids will not only be able to make their own spooktacular Halloween masks, but also have the chance to meet and have a selfie with Metro Man, the Bank’s striking mascot in his Halloween costume.
“Our craft events are always a treat and never tricky,” explains Kat Robinson, customer experience director at Metro Bank. “Open to everyone, they are popular with kids and the adults in their lives as they provide a chance to have some real fun at no cost! This year’s activity is making a fun mask around which children can build their Halloween fancy dress costume.”

Metro Bank’s Newbury store is located at 64 – 65 Northbrook St, Newbury RG14 1AE. The store is currently open Monday – Saturday 08:30am – 6pm. Sunday: 11am – 5pm.

Why joining a community of business leaders can enhance your reputation and credibility
I read a LinkedIn post recently that reassured business owners that if they’d managed to keep their businesses going during recession, Brexit, COVID and the cost-of-living crisis that they deserved a huge pat on the back and shouldn’t ‘beat themselves up’. Easier said than done when costs are rising and doing business seems to get harder rather than easier, but the sentiment was well-placed.
Why it’s important for Business Leaders to be exposed to new...
Nobody likes a ‘know it all’ and let’s face it, there’s no such thing. At the other end of the scale, many of us don’t create enough time to take on board new ideas, innovation and creativity in whatever format. How many times have you been recommended to read a book, get sent the link, go on Amazon, maybe even buy it but it just sits on your bookshelf? Come to think of it, as an aside, just think about that for a second….I wonder what the actual percentage of books purchased are actually read? Frightening thought!
