CREDITON’S Tesco Superstore is again inviting children aged 10 and under to its car park on Sunday, October 29 for a FreeHallowe’en Party.

The idea behind the event is to give the youngest children the chance to safely trick or treat and have a bit of Hallowe’en fun at the same time.

The stores Community Champion, Andrew Drayton explains: “We are delighted to say that after last year’s success, our free Hallowe’en party will be returning again this year. Those that attended last year had a great time and the feedback that we received was fantastic so we thought we’d give it another go.”

Andrew continues: “What we are asking is that an adult brings their car to the car park, where we will have created a ‘Party Area’. You can park in the party area, trick or treat between the cars and join in with the fun, games and activities that we have planned.”

The party will run from 5pm until 7pm and local businesses have been invited along to help with the party atmosphere.

The Creation Station will be providing some Hallowe’en-based activities and The Boabab Cafe will be providing food for the evening with a spectacular Hallowe’en centre piece planned.

Crediton Pet Shop will be helping out with an especially scary Creepy Crawly Challenge. There will also be a Magic Show, music, face painting and an Apple Bobbing Competition.

Everyone that comes is being encouraged to enter into the spirit with Fancy Dress for adults, children and, if you fancy it, your cars too.

Andrew added that: “Unfortunately we cannot have naked flames during the party so bring a small torch or an LED tea light to light your pumpkin with or for decorating your car.”

Andrew is looking forward to a real party atmosphere at the store: “We’ve asked some of the local businesses to come and join the fun, we will have colleagues in fancy dress and we’ll be giving away prizes for costumes, decorated cars, the Creepy Crawly Challenge and the apple bobbing. We’d like to see some great pumpkin carvings as we have prizes for them too.”

If you are interested in booking a space at this great Crediton community event then call Andrew on 07718 533 015 or email: [email protected] putting “Hallowe’en Party” as the subject.

Andrew re-iterated the need to book: “We will have limited space at the party so please book early if you want to come down. We would like adults as well as children to get into the spirit by dressing up in suitable Hallowe’en garb. We hope that it will be a lot of fun and to repeat the success of last year’s event.”

Store Manager, Simon Anbany was delighted to, again, offer a fantastic community event, commenting: “Since I have been at the store I have encouraged all of our colleagues to get involved with the community work that the store does.

“We try and support as many aspects of, and groups within, the Crediton District as we can and the idea of a free party for the youngest members of that community is a great way to engage.

“It’s also a bonus that we can include other local businesses as well, providing opportunity for members of a different aspect of the Crediton business community.

“I hope that lots of people come down and have a great time.”
