From the main event - the scarecrow trail - to the plant sale, art show, live music, church displays, and soaking in the beauty of the village, there's no shortage of fun to be had.
You can purchase a programme from the tent at the pond. This includes your trail map, lucky draw entry and a form to vote for your favourite scarecrow, plus loads of info on the Festival.
A special children's quiz is available from the pond. Picture clues are at each scarecrow location. A prize will be awarded for the entry with the most correct answers and another for a lucky draw.
Pop on your Strawlock Holmes hat, follow the trail and use the clues in the programme to identify the scarecrows. There's a £100 prize for the entry with the most correct answers.
When you've completed the scarecrow trail, pull out the inner pages of your programme and hand into the info tent or post in the dedicated red box on The Green for the chance to win £100 in the draw.
