Aireborough Rotary's Halloween Competition - Best window display

Mon, Oct 21st 2024 at 9:00 am- Thu, Oct 31st 2024 - 6:00 pm

Shops and businesses in the streets of Horsforth are being encouraged to dress up their windows for Halloween between October 21st and 31st


Entry costs £5 per shop and there will be prizes of £30, £20 and £10 once judging has taken place with a QR code to vote online. Maps showing all the participants will be available for £1 from Marples, Town Street and Honey Pottery, New Road side. Coinciding with School Half Term it is hoped families will buy the maps and do the tour with all funds raised going to the Rob Burrow Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Appeal for the third year running. So far £1500 have been raised for this local charity. Pictures show last year's winners: R A Fuller, Holidays by Design and Hardakers Bakery and the resplendent, hardworking sales team.
