 “I’ve had loads of kids coming through and I’ve been giving out free stickers to every child.”

The Caldicot based business offered lots of different crotched characters including spooky ghost ones.

Hannah said: “The trinkets have sold really well so obviously that’s something that the kids are liking it’s been very jolly.”

The business run by Beth Reese 27, and Zade Campbell-Davies 28 is a pottery-based business that specialises in a selection of different clay-based goods and ceramics.

At the event they had lots of spooky Halloween pottery to choose for and paint for just £2:00!

Beth Reese explained: “It’s been great fun, and we’ve had even more business than we imagined.

Zade Campbell-Davies added: “We are really grateful that Barry Council subsidized some of the costs.”

Members of Barry Town Council also popped along and enjoyed the event.

Councillors Lesley Dancey and Dennis Clarke for Buttrills were in attendance.

Councillor Dancey said: “It’s brilliant as always, a lot of work goes into this you’ve got a lot of enthusiastic people, and I think the crowds speak for themselves it’s only the start of the day and look at it.”

Councillor Clarke added: “The staff at Barry Town Council have organised they’ve dressed up brilliantly and I just think it’s marvellous what’s happening here.”

“We are booked in for the pottery later on and we booked a cupcake for a treat, and we are just going to look round and see what else they’ve got.”

Overall, the day was a spooktacular!
