These images celebrate the 25th Hickling Scarecrow Festival which supports local charities.

We tried to get everybody’s scarecrow which numbered somewhere between 60 and 80!

If we missed any and you’d like them to be included just email them to us.

This year’s theme is Nursery Rhymes and Story Time.

It really is a lovely day out, parking is ample and £5 that’s the only charge – it’s also on tomorrow Sunday 14 September 11 am – 4 pm. There are plenty of food and drink places open and lots of kids to do too. Toilets are available in the village hall and at local venues. A Lancaster Bomber flypast between 1:23 and 3 pm is planned weather permitting. Organisers advise the time at the site with placards.
