Hairdresser’s spooktacular display wins Knaresborough Halloween contest

The spooktacular display at Claro Hair Stylists in Knaresborough has been crowned the winner of the town’s Halloween window competition.

The impressive window on the High Street includes potion bottles, cauldrons and spell books, which have been created by owner Sue Orr.

The competition, organised by Knaresborough Business Collective, is being run alongside the Halloween scarecrow trail.

Annie Wilkinson-Gill, from The Crystal Buddha, who launched the not-for-profit business group with Natalie Horner, from Sid Horner and Son said:

“Sue was thrilled to have won.

“This is our third window competition through the business collective and the turnout has been great. Lots of businesses decorated their windows in the run up to Halloween. It really creates a buzz in town and people love looking at all the displays.

They all looked spectacular, especially alongside the scarecrow trail, which has done so well and brought a lot of people into Knaresborough. We’ve sold hundreds of maps for the trail. We did have some vandalism on the first night, but since then it’s more than made up for it.”

Deputy mayor and town councillor Mark Flood judged the competition. The runners up were The Old Royal Oak, in second place, and Number Thirteen in third.
The Halloween scarecrow trail runs until Sunday.
