AN ESTIMATED 10,000 people have flocked to a farm for a jam-packed spooky timetable of Halloween activities.
The award-winning Hallowe'en Festival at Marsh Farm, in Marsh Farm Road in South Woodham Ferrers, has hosted its festive-themed shows and parades since Saturday.
Celebrations conclude with its Monster Ball for children from 3 until 7pm today and tomorrow (Friday) in its big circus top.
"It's been very successful," said the farm's creative marketer and memory maker James Martin.
"The weather has been a fantastic help and Tuesday was our best day ever on the farm for Halloween in 30 years because of the weather and activities we are putting on."
The farm has also put on a spooktacular-themed birds of prey show with the witches' and wizards' owls, a twilight parade, story-telling from the resident witch, a spell hunt treasure trail and a free pumpkin carving workshop.
The farm is also hosting its off-diary tractor rides, petting rooms and its Grand National goat racing.
"I'm hoping we can beat Tuesday with an even better day on Friday," added James.
The show was voted best Halloween event in the county by essexmums.org this year.
