High streets in Padiham and Longridge were bustling over the half-term holidays, as estate agent Pendle Hill Properties once again sponsored their extremely popular Trick or Treat Week.
Taking place between Monday 21st and Saturday 26th October, children were tasked with visiting shops and outlets to collect Halloween stamps.
Running in both Padiham and Longridge this year with the aim of encouraging more people to #ShopLocal, over 20 outlets were involved, with the competition generating more than 1,700 shop visits across the week.
Many of the participating outlets got into the Halloween spirit, decorating their shops and handing out sweets to their visiting trick or treaters.
There were three prizes up for grabs in Longridge including a £100 toy shop voucher donated by Longridge Town Council which was won by William Garside, age 5; second place went to William Booth, age 9, who took home a £50 voucher for Oh! Pizza; while third place was won by Darcey, age 10, who secured a sweet hamper donated by Pendle Hill Properties.
In Padiham, first place went to Lewis Clarke, winning a family meal at The Lawrence Hotel; second went to Aliza Knight and a Padiham shopping voucher for £50 donated by Padiham Town Council; with third place being awarded to Hughie Dale and a sweet hamper, again donated by Pendle Hill Properties.
Andrew Turner, managing director at Pendle Hill Properties, said: “The Halloween competitions are always very well received each year, and it has been brilliant to see the youngsters out trick or treating with their families, visiting local outlets and looking around them at the same time.
“We would like to say a huge thank you to Padiham Town Council, Longridge Town Council and Love Longridge for all their support, as well as to all the outlets who took part.”
