It&#8217;s not the ending we hoped for, but we&#8217;re proud of what Little Town meant to so many children, for that we will forever be grateful. As we close this chapter, we&#8217;d also like to gently remind everyone to keep supporting local independent businesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"bristolpost\">&#8220;Across the UK, many role-play and soft-play venues have faced an exceptionally tough year, with visitor numbers and sales falling sharply.
