Equity members who are owed money from their work on Halloween Haunt Fest at the Hertfordshire County Showground are encouraged to get in touch with the union.
On 29 October, In the Scenes Ltd, the company which runs Halloween Haunt Fest, posted on the event’s website that it had “ceased trading and entered into voluntary insolvency” and that “Halloween Haunt Fest will no longer be operating for the remainder of dates as previously advertised."
Equity has heard from members who have not been paid for their work at Halloween Haunt Fest and are owed thousands of pounds. If you are also affected, please get in touch by emailing Equity’s Midlands Official Ian Manborde: imanborde@equity.org.uk.
The union is helping gather a cast list to pass onto the insolvency practitioners, so that performers can be listed at creditors and stand a chance of recouping any outstanding fees. Although this outcome cannot be guaranteed, Equity will ensure that members’ full rights are enforced.
Equity can also provide further advice and support, and push for action against the company’s directors if it becomes aware of any negligence or fraud involved in business practices.
