🔥☀️ Heatwave + Summer Solstice = Nature trying to grill us like sausages this weekend! 🌭😅

Time to FIGHT BACK... with WATER! 💦💥
Whether you're packing a sneaky little pistol, dual-wielding Super Soakers like a summer action hero, or lobbing classic water bombs like it's 1999 — it's every sweaty human for themselves! 😎🎯💧

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and may your aim be true.

🦸‍♂️💥 Happy Superman Day, everyone! 💥🦸‍♂️
Whether you're faster than a speeding bullet or just trying to survive your morning coffee, today we celebrate the Man of Steel! 💪☕️

🟥🟦🟨 Fun fact: Superman’s first comic book appearance was in 1938—and he’s been saving the day (and rocking a cape) ever since! Don't forget the new film is being released 11th July!

So put on your imaginary cape, strike your hero pose, and remember:
"Even Superman needed a day off... but not today!"

🎉 40 years ago today, The Goonies hit theaters and taught us that “Goonies never say die!” 🏴‍☠️

Fast forward to 2025, and guess what? We finally got our hands on the officially licensed Sloth costume! 🧡🍫

So if you’ve ever wanted to yell “Hey you guuuuuys!” while looking like everyone’s favorite gentle giant… your time has come. 💪

Available now — because some legends (and forehead wrinkles) never go out of style.

🎉 Another cracking idea for the SUBU Summer Ball … how about a Squid Games theme? 👀🔺

Think giant games, red jumpsuits, weird masks, and total chaos (the fun kind). Fancy dress is a must, so get your squad together and start planning those outfits. 💃🎭

And to make it even cheaper, we’ve left some vouchers at the SUBU Bournemouth reception — grab one and use it in-store to help kit yourself out. First come, first served! 🎟️👕🍬

Let the (fake and fabulous) games begin… 💥
