Plowright Place Halloween 2018
Following their amazing Anglia in Bloom effort,
Plowright Place excelled once more as they hosted
their third Halloween celebration with support from
Swaffham Town Council and local residents. This year
was bigger and better and was well received by the
children and their families.
There were lots of spooky interactive games for
children of all ages to engage with and the opportunity
to earn a trick or treat. No child went away empty
handed. Other games included 'bush tucker trial'
traditional apple bobbing, hook a duckula, wack a
rat, spiders hoopla and pumpkin toss. There was also
face painting and an "old sparky" photo point.
The weather was kind to us yet again, allowing us
to deliver yet another fantastic event of smoke, UV
& strobe light effects along side some spooky props.
A big thank you to the following, without their
support events like this wouldn't happen: Plowright
Place businesses, Swaffham Town Council, Tesco,
Combat Airsoft, Swaffham Raceway and the group of
Swaffham residents who gave up their time to help.
