Children of all ages in Hailsham are invited to register to take part in a Halloween Fashion Show. The free contest, which families are invited to attend, will be divided into three categories and age groups with the first (ages up to 6 years) taking place at 2pm, the second (ages 7-11 years) at 3.30pm and the third (ages 12-17 years) at 5pm. Doors will open at 1.30pm to allow time for initial set-up. Everyone who enters the competition will be given a small gift. The winners of each age category and those with the best and most Halloween costumes will each receive a special prize. Entrants will be judged by a small panel, with winners being determined by originality of costumes and the amount of applause they receive from the audience. The event will also feature a photo booth where children can have their photos taken in a Halloween-themed frame alone or with their friends. A few selected photos will even be featured on the Town Council’s social media pages.
Staff and volunteers will be creating a themed backdrop at the venue with decorations to get in the spirit of Halloween and prepared music to set the scene for the show. Registration is required to take part in the event. To enter, parents on behalf of their children will need to complete a short application form available online at https://www.hailsham-tc.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Halloween-Fashion-Show-Application.pdf, which will need to be completed and sent to enquiries@hailsham-tc.gov.uk. Alternatively, forms are available to collect from the Town Council Offices in Market Street during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am-4pm).
