MADISON Murray from Wiveliscombe was named the winner of the best fancy dress costume competition at a spooky Halloween-themed tea hosted at an award-winning farm shop yesterday (Sunday, October 30, 2022).
The four-year-old won the prize for best costume at the Halloween party hosted by Rumwell Farm Shop, which is located on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington.
Anne Mitchell, Joint Owner of the Farm Shop, said: “Our Halloween celebrations are always popular, and this year was no exception as we once again hosted a spooky-themed tea for children and their families, which included a table-based tea with an age specific activity pack including, colouring, wordsearch and mask making for each child.
“Children and adults were encouraged to come in fancy dress and we loved seeing lots of scary ghosts and witches, as well as all other wonderful fancy-dress costumes. We’d like to say a huge ‘congratulations’ to Madison for her winning costume.
“Youngsters also got the chance to scoop out one of our pumpkins and draw a frightening face on the front. Our staff then took it to the kitchen to carve the designs for them to take home.
“We would like to thank everyone who came and had a lovely time, also the effort that went into Halloween costumes was fantastic! We hope to see everyone again next year for more spook-tacular fun!”
