Paradise goes spooky for Halloween

A wide range of Paradise occupiers and their staff recently got into the spirit of Halloween, with 40 carefully sculptured pumpkins submitted for judging as part of the estate’s annual pumpkin carving contest.

The spooktacular competition saw occupiers from across Paradise submit their creations to be judged by a team of expert Pumpkinologists!

This year’s judges – Anna Grzymala from Cow & Sow, Paradise estate manager Lee Wileman and Meena Binning from the Two Chamberlain Square Front of House team – braved the spooktacular beauty pageant hosted at Albert’s Schloss before selecting four thrilling winners:

In first place, winning a F1 driving experience along with a £50 drinks voucher, was reigning champion Natalie Ellis from Knights for her frightfully scary pumpkin, and was a worthy winner for the second year running!

In second place, winning a £75 F1 voucher, was Becky Cooper from Goldman Sachs for her out of this world, Alien-themed Halloween pumpkin.

In third place, and winning a £50 Cow & Sow voucher, was Alex Currier from Arup for her creative confinement scene.

In fourth place was Klara Vojtova from Albert’s Schloss, winning a £25 Cow & Sow voucher for a towering, three-storey pumpkin extravaganza.
