This year the Scarecrow Trail will run from 25th April to 10th May.

The theme is The World of Theatre & Musicals

We have 48 scarecrows pledged to the trail! Thank you to everyone who has offered!

Applications for this year are now closed, so that we can plan the route and print the trail sheets.

If you missed out, remember that the trail takes place every year on the weeks either side of the early May Bank Holiday (last week of April and first of May). We will make the theme available early in 2027 and you can put in your suggestion for a scarecrow in February.

We're looking forward to 2026 being the best ever trail!
