And that’s a wrap! Trail done for 2026 ✅

HUGE thank you to our amazing venues for supporting us and selling maps- The Woolpack, Mes Amis and The Foresters 🙌🏻

HUGE thank you to all of our scarecrow makers and hosts- without you, we wouldn’t have a trail! 💜

HUGE thank you to everyone who has bought a map and supported our children at Beckington First School 🗺️

It’s been amazing seeing large and small groups of people wandering around the village shouting out the names of the characters they saw, holding maps in all weathers and seeing children with big smiles on their faces 😃

You still have until Friday 24th to hand in maps or email them to us and watch this space for the prize draw and announcement for the scarecrow voted as favourite 👀

19/04/2026

It’s our final day of the trail! Come and buy your sheets and enjoy the sunshine for one last time this year. Don’t forget to support our local businesses and grab something to eat or drink from the Woolpack, Mes Amis and the Foresters whilst you buy your map and have a day of fun spotting all the lovely creations! 🤩

The time has come! 9am tomorrow morning the trail officially starts and we’ve had a sneek preview of some of the scarecrows- they are looking fab!

Grab your paper maps from The Woolpack or Mes Amis tomorrow morning, or from lunchtime onwards at the Foresters too. You can also pay on your phone and download a digital map from the QR code on posters dotted around the village or using this link- https://buy.stripe.com/7sY28q5UF1xw5Cfcgg87K02

We can’t wait to see local families enjoying the trail, don’t forget to tag us in any posts.

Happy scarecrow hunting! 🐣🤩

One week to go! The scarecrows will be out next Friday 🤩 let’s hope for some sunny weather for a fab trail full of cartoons. Some of our makers are super organised and have finished making theirs already! One last push for the rest of us to get them ready for Friday 💪

21/02/2026

The list of scarecrows is starting to look great 🎉
We still need more makers to come forwards though! Please put your creative thinking caps on and let us know if you can add to the cartoon collection around the village. You still have almost 6 weeks to make a carton character and you’ll be contributing to one of our biggest events of the year!
Get in touch if you can make or host a scarecrow [email protected] 🤩
