Once again hundreds of visitors enjoyed the imaginative scarecrows which graced gardens and open spaces throughout the village.

Each year the festival has a special theme.

And this year villagers responded to the challenge by coming up with brilliant and amusing scarecrows depicting characters from pantomimes and nursery ryhmes.

The festival has been a popular part of village life for several years and once again organisers were delighted by the response from villagers and visitors alike.
