Moreton Scarecrow Weekend
During the weekend of 17th and 18th August, over 60 scarecrows were on display at the Scarecrow Festival in the Villages of Moreton, Outwoods and Bromstead, representing characters from children’s books. A fantastic selection of scarecrows appeared, making the trail and quiz a real family affair. Over 700 visitors came on what turned out to be a lovely weekend weather wise, after a very wet and windy week.
To add to the event there were classic cars, military vehicles and vintage tractors. On Saturday we enjoyed the sounds of the fairground organ, Lady Wulfrun, a craft fair and of course plenty of tea and cakes. All proceeds went to St. Mary’s Church electricity project.
Thank you to everyone who came and helped to make it a jolly weekend.
Below are a selection of some of the wonderful scarecrows that were on display.
