A huge thank you to OrderFlow for sponsoring the 2026 Kington Langley Scarecrow Festival!

It's the support of brilliant local businesses like these that keeps our community event going year after year. We're so grateful to have them on board for what's going to be a fantastic weekend!

We're absolutely thrilled to announce that Chippenham Pit Stop are the Prime Sponsor of the 2026 Kington Langley Scarecrow Festival!

As a brilliant local business just up the road, their generous support makes such a difference to our community event, and we honestly couldn't put on the festival without backing like this.

Join us on 20–21 June for a weekend of scarecrow fun, our sea-themed trail and fundraising for the RNLI.

Thank you, Pitstop!

We’re thrilled to welcome back Clare's Circus to this year’s Kington Langley Scarecrow Festival!

Based in Calne and a familiar favourite with festival-goers, Clare and her team bring a wonderful mix of circus skills activities for all ages – juggling, plate spinning, poi, hula hoops, flower sticks, Chinese ribbons and diabolo. Whether you’re 3 or 93, there’s something to have a go at!

One week left to register your scarecrow!

We can't believe how quickly the time has flown, but registration for this year's sea-themed Scarecrow Trail closes in just seven days, and we'd hate for you to miss out!

We already have a fantastic lineup of entries, but there's still room for yours. Whether you're a first-time builder or a festival regular, we'd love to see your creativity on the trail this year.

Head to www.scarecrows.biz/register before it's too late!

Thank you to our friends at Langley Fitzurse C of E Primary School for hosting our big black box for reusable Festival cup donations!

Calling all cupboard hoarders… we see those plastic festival cups 👀

Drop them into the green recycling bin outside school and help us reuse them for the Kington Langley Scarecrow Festival Trail.

Small action, big impact! ♻️💚

Last chance to dig out those unwanted plastic glasses!

We'll be collecting any unwanted reusable plastic pint or half-pint glasses tomorrow at our Scarecrow Builder Workshop as part of our plastic glass amnesty – any glasses, any event, so have a rummage tonight and bring them along!

And of course, our Scarecrow Builder Workshop itself kicks off at 10.30am at Langley Fitzurse School and runs until 2pm. Pick up a £10 starter kit, pop by the head building station or just come and soak up the scarecrow spirit. We'd love to see you there!

One week to go until our Scarecrow Builder Workshop!

Join us next Sunday, 10th May, between 10.30am–2pm at Langley Fitzurse School for some scarecrow making, community spirit and plenty of fun. Pick up a £10 starter kit, get help at our head building station, or just come along to join in, everyone's welcome!

And don't forget – we'll also be collecting any unwanted reusable plastic pint or half-pint glasses on the day as part of our plastic glass amnesty. They don't have to be from our events, any are welcome, so please have a rummage at the back of the cupboard before you come! ;)

See you there!
