Family Spookfest 2

Following the success of our first Spookfest last year, we were pleased to be able to hold the event again this year with our friends at Pine Ridge Golf Club.

We were delighted to welcome some new faces to the event, including Emma from Cake Your Day, who very bravely guided 72 children through piping on icing and decorating a spooky cupcake.

Annee, one of our committee, and owner of Chocolate Trickly Treats brought along her spectacular chocolate fountain and Paul Fitchett offered families the chance to take home a great memento of the day with his spooky photo booth.


Julie from Craft Attak took charge of the glitter this year, with over 80 children making a spider or other craft activity, I think the floor of the Baronial Hall will be sparkling for some time!

Once again this year, Rachel from The Secret Stage School was spectacular with two half-hour dance mini-classes for the little ones.  We're not sure where she gets her energy from, but if that's a taster of her classes, then we would definitely recommend taking your children along to tire them out while they have a great time.

We also held a raffle, with another outstanding cake donated by Louise of Lou-Lou Cakes, ran a tombola and sold scrummy biscuits courtesy of the lovely Jane.  And thanks to Caroline of Caroline's Creations for donating some gorgeous handmade pumpkin shaped soaps which smelt good enough to eat.

Paul Deach of the Surrey Heath Residents Network has put together a great photo blog for the event too, do have a look - you might spot yourself!

We are so grateful to all of these people and businesses for supporting this event, and for Pine Ridge for being such patient and welcoming hosts (sorry again about the glitter!) - we hope we can do it all again next year.

Our final total is £515 - on top of that we hope we provided the community with a happy  and safe Halloween experience for their children through this fun family event.
