2024 Scarecrow winners
May 18, 2024
Thanks to everyone who voted for the Best Scarecrow Award at the 2024 Urchfont Scarecrow Festival, and congratulations to this year's winners.
56 fantastic entries were created by residents of the parish - each one themed around icons of the silver screen. Visitors to the festival were asked to write the number of their favourite scarecrow on their entry forms and these were counted over the last week. Thank you to everyone who made scarecrows, helping making the festival a hugely popular weekend for thousands of visitors and raise thousands for local charities and organisations.

This year's top three favourite scarecrows, as voted by the public, are:
