Dr Bob’s Balloons

Dr Bob’s is a delightful little shop on Barry’s High Street, selling everything from latex balloons to hen night gear. I think the main draw, however, is the specialist balloon décor (one example can be seen in the photo I included).
Bob creates bespoke balloon art for parties, weddings and corporate functions, but just a quick browse around the premises will give you an idea of his skill. Floor-​to-​ceiling creations pepper the shop floor, giving this Unilocaler an idea or two for her beloved’s daughter’s next birthday party.
The ground floor also showcases every latex balloon design you can imagine (from smiley faces to Peppa Pig), in addition to greeting cards, invitations and other party necessities. Downstairs is where the fancy dress kit is stocked, offering your usual ranges of hats, masks and costumes.
Bob and Julie are absolutely lovely and happy to spend a few minutes chatting — if you live in Cardiff, it’s definitely worth the trek out here if you’re looking for unique décor ideas for your next party.

Known for creating really wonderful balloon displays, Bob’s is the alternative to sending traditional flowers for a birthday or celebration.
They supply a mix of latex and foil balloons with just about every design you can think of. If they don’t have something to suit, they will even personalize your balloons and put a personal message or a name on.
They also sell a massive range of fancy dress supplies as well as bits and pieces for a party. I don’t know of anywhere else that sells Piñata’s so a mexican fiesta can truly happen if you go here.
All hail bob.
