The Scarecrow Trail is a much loved institution in Sherston and this year’s theme will be ‘Stories, Myths and Legends’!

But if you would like to join in the fun (hassle free!) why not book onto the Scarecrow Making Workshop on Saturday 18th October 2025 (Sherston Village Hall, 2pm-4.30pm, £15 per group). All the materials will be provided and there will be lots of help on hand to make your scarecrow. Email: kirsty.strachan@icloud.com to book your place. Spaces are limited so get in quick.

Trail maps are available on Sunday 16th at the BSR from 12pm. (The trail will run for the full week of the festival). Prizes awarded if you can guess the names of all the scarecrows.

Cost? £2 per trail map. Don’t forget it is free to enter a scarecrow on the trail though! Email kirsty.strachan@icloud.com to get your scarecrow on the map.

Prize giving: Prizes will be awarded for the best Scarecrow in the British School Rooms with the prize giving at 4.30pm. A prize will also be given for the most correctly guessed scarecrows so return your completed trail to the Church or the BSR by 4pm latest on the 16th November.
