Welcome to Wetwang Scarecrow Festival

The scarecrows arrived in Wetwang in 2003. Our first scarecrow festival was conceived by the Village Hall Committee as a fundraising activity for the newly-erected Wetwang Village Community Hall and it has grown to become the village’s most important event of the year.It has become a well known and loved event in the region as well as attracting visitors from further afield.

Thanks to the enthusiastic response of residents our scarecrow count has increased every year and we expect to see well over 100 cleverly-crafted scarecrows appearing in gardens, open spaces, hidden corners and even on rooftops each year.

The 2011 Scarecrow Festival raised more than £6,000 of much-needed funds for community events at the community's Village Hall as well as securing the ongoing upkeep of the Hall for another year - thanks to the many scarecrow makers, volunteers and visitors who supported this year's efforts!

The 2012 Scarcrow Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever as it will be the 10th Anniversary Scarecrow Festival.
