THE enterprising owner of a recently relaunched business is hoping to make the most out of Halloween.

Maxine English opened up Party Crown on Rayleigh Road in Stanford-le-Hope in August and Halloween is the first big seasonal event since then.

She felt that just displaying Halloween goods on a wall in her shop just wasn't big enough for the amount of interest shown by customers so she has opened up a Halloween room.

She says: "Party Crown sells everything you need for your spooky Halloween night. Items include fancy dress, face paints, liquid latex, decorations, masks; in fact everything you need for a great Halloween including balloon pop stacks where you have a character and pop its belly and sweets fall out.

Maxine has also extended her opening hours. If you would like to know more about Party Crown or would like future updates for their Christmas event visit the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/PartyCrownDirect
