Visitors to Braintree in Essex during half-term were surprised to see some very real and quite mischievous witches at work.  For brave souls there was a change to join in with some of the magic disappearing and spooky tricks.

For younger wannabe witches and wizards there were fun craft sessions with making hoppy paper frogs and squishy glue balloons.

The colourful magic stall complete with fiery pumpkins and a talking skull was set up by Tax Attic, the new independent tax consulting business.

Natalie Guest, a chartered tax adviser, explained: we thought of this event as a wonderful way to have a bit of seasonal light-hearted fun for the local community, especially children in their school break. 

Tax and accounts businesses can be viewed as somewhat dull and populated by very straight faced individuals I hope we managed to bring about at least a small change.

Inspired by the warm reception locally the witch in charge took herself off to London to cause some further mischief.  The visit proved a huge success with the tourists and locals alike.  Although some mystified passers-by keen to join a raucous party later on may have been a little disappointed to discover that the laugh inducing witchy flyers were about some pretty serious conjuring after all! 


The new practice focuses on helping local and national businesses and their owners as well as employees with more complex tax affairs.
