Schomberg Village Association


welcomes you......                     

There is a Competition/Festival, in a small village of England known as the Wrenbury Scarecrow Festival. It is the main inspiration behind this effort
.
Scarecrow Festivals have become wildly popular in the UK see other scarecrow links  for more information. Now other countries are catching on too!

They are exciting to visit, young children especially love them, as do the young at heart.

For two whole weeks the sleepy village of Wrenbury takes on a total transformation and becomes alive with characters from books, movies, TV, sport, the Royal family etc etc. Not only are the scarecrows everywhere but the whole community is involved. Businesses, restaurants, pubs, stores, schools, churches and community groups are all doing something special..i.e. afternoon teas, art shows, camp outs, garage sales and on and on. As well as having their own scarecrows, often relevant to their organization. See this years winner

There are many photographs in this website to give you ideas and inspiration for your scarecrow. See
slideshows and other scarecrow links
If many people participate this can become an amazing, fun event, that will attract visitors from near and far!


Make a Scarecrow....look at the other Scarecrows and vote for your favourite Scarecrow!

Most of all have Fun!
