Scarecrows

Quirky and topical scarecrows which aim to amuse

Scarecrows will be out to attract your vote !

Topical scarecrows around the village

Follow the Scarecrow Trail with entries displayed around the village. Gold, silver and bronze awards will be given to the winners – who’ll be chosen by you!

Maps showing the locations of the Scarecrows will be available at St James’ Church (and shown below) on Saturday, 2nd September with the voting form on the back.

Completed voting forms can be placed in a box located in the church entrance, or you can email your votes to victoria.sylvester@ewemove.com

Votes must be in by 4.00 pm on the Sunday. 

Medals will be presented to the winning scarecrows on Monday 5th September. Prize-winners will be listed on the church noticeboard and on the Barton

Festival Facebook page on Monday, 5th September.

Competition organiser Victoria Sylvester said: “Last year's scarecrow trail was a real hit - we can't wait to see what creations you come up with this year!”
