Scarecrow Festival
We are again planning a Scarecrow Festival for the village from Saturday 10th to Saturday 17th September. The theme this year is “Favourite Characters” so get creative! It could be a character from a nursery rhyme, book or film for example. As last year, there will be cream teas and some stalls and games at the village hall on Saturday 17th when the winners will be announced. Please see the posters on Facebook and around the village for more info.
