URCHFONT SCARECROW FESTIVAL
3 – 5 MAY 2025
THE COUNTDOWN IS ON
Wiltshire's first, biggest and best scarecrow festival.
The 2025 Urchfont Scarecrow festival promises a family-friendly day out filled with fun, creativity, and community spirit from Saturday the 3rd to Monday the 5th of May.
Experience over 50 themed scarecrows, lovingly crafted and displayed by local residents. Purchase a programme and embark on the scarecrow trail, cracking the clues and matching them to the scarecrows.
Kids can join in the fun with a special quiz featuring picture clues at each stop. Prizes awaited the sharpest sleuths, and there is even a lucky programme draw and the chance to cast your vote for the Best Scarecrow.
A great day out for all the family
The Urchfont Scarecrow Festival has been running since the 1990s and attracts thousands of visitors every year.
Here are some of the reasons why:
THERE'S LOTS TO DO AND SEE
Embark on the scarecrow trail through the charming Urchfont village as you unravel clues. Your little ones can join in the fun with a children's quiz featuring picture clues to decode at each scarecrow spot.
A FUN, LIVELY ATMOSPHERE
Enjoy mouthwatering, locally crafted burgers and sausages, indulge in delectable homemade cakes and a refreshing cup of tea; or satisfy your thirst with locally brewed real ales and ciders at the village pond.
IT'S COMMUNITY RUN
The Festival committee and the Urchfont Parish community work together to create scarecrows, bake cakes, oversee parking, cook on the barbecue, serve drinks, and more.
IT SUPPORTS LOCAL CAUSES.
All profits generated are dedicated to supporting good causes in the Parish of Urchfont, and a substantial annual contribution is also made to Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
