Lynne Featherstone MP on Friday took part in the Geisterfest on Muswell Hill Broadway and Fortis Green Road.

The local MP presented rosettes to the best carved pumpkins, and announced the overall winner to the crowd inside O’Neills on Muswell Hill Broadway.

The event was organised by the local community, and also included costume, scarecrow and baking competitions, live music and local trick or treating.

The festival also helped to promote local businesses and retailers, who have suffered in recent months due to traffic works in and around the broadway.

Lynne Featherstone MP said: “I was so happy to take part in this wonderful, community-led festival. The standard of the pumpkins was very high – it was clear a lot of effort had been put in!

“It was also great to see so many people on the local high streets, boosting the trade of our much-loved independent shops.”
