Once you’ve seen them all, vote for your favourite back at Scarecrow HQ and stay for a cuppa and a cake in our pop up café, or maybe something stronger from the licenced bar. Prize giving is from 5pm on Sunday 13th September 2026 at Scarecrow HQ – please come along and join in the fun.
Available at the Scarecrow HQ during the weekend:
📌 Scarecrow Village Trail Maps
☕ Tea, Coffee, Water, Soft Drinks

Proceeds from the weekend help fund Walton’s Christmas Trees and Light Switch On event in December.
The weekend wouldn’t be possible without the efforts of the many villagers who get creative and build scarecrows to display. Please continue to support us (and your village) by building a scarecrow. Entry Forms are available via this link Scarecrow Form 2026
