What’s On

The programme will give you all the details of what is happening where, but here’s a taster of what you can enjoy from 12.00 onwards:

Lots of scarecrows to see including finding ‘Where’s Wally’, hidden somewhere in the village. Buy a programme to find out where they all are.

A children’s quiz plus other games and fund-raising activities

Refreshments at the Village Hall and The Barn at Greenacre Farm.

Our scarecrow theme this year is ‘In Perfect Harmony’, and we are very excited to have a new live music venue, plus a licensed bar and food at Greenacre Farm.
