Spooky night at Old Cheese Factory

It was a spooky evening at the Old Cheese Factory in Berwick last Friday night as more than 3500 people gathered for the annual Halloween celebration.

The historic site was transformed into a mysterious adventure playground, where families enjoyed a range of themed activities.

From thrilling rides and croquet lawn games to wand and shadow-puppet making.

Those who dressed in their most horrifying costumes and joined the special trick-or-treat trail were not disappointed.

Thanks to Wizz Fizz, there were plenty of sweet treats to go around.

The Elm Way driveway, reminiscent of a mystical forest filled with storybook creatures, was lined with generous lolly distributors for brave trick-or-treaters.

Adding to the atmosphere were musical performances by Glinda and Elphaba, the two best witches of them all from Wicked.

Mayor Cr Stefan Koomen, who attended with his two daughters, said it was “fantastic to see so many people getting into the spirit with great costumes and enjoying the rides, shows, and games across the evening.”

Also in attendance were Cr Michelle Crowther and Cr Scott Dowling, who came dressed as a blood-sucking vampire.

With its eerie charm and community spirit, the Old Cheese Factory’s Halloween event once again proved to be a frightfully fun night for all ages.
