🎃👻 Did you know that it all started with Halloween? 👻 🎃
Growing up we weren’t allowed to go trick or treating (it wasn’t as popular in the 90s), so my Mam would throw Halloween parties for all of mine and my brothers friends in our kitchen. Baking tombstone sausage rolls, creating gunges from what was in the cupboard’s to dip our hands in to and pull out treats, hanging soaked invisible thread from the ceiling for us all to walk through ‘spiderwebs’, making our costumes from old clothes and even covering the bins to become ghosts.
Fast forward to being a student in Newcastle. Me and my eldest brother headed to the local fancy dress shop and spent most of our student loans on props (some to gross to mention), lights and decorations for the party we held in my student flat in the centre of town. With all of our friends attending and us seeing their faces (some in horror) of what we put together, we said to each other ‘We should start doing parties’
(Picture taken at said party in the noughties with an actual disposable camera!)
Though it took almost 20 years of hospitality, venue management and PA jobs, getting married, several city moves and two children, I now get to ‘do parties’ for work.
And with Halloween next week, I’m hosting the biggest one yet with
