The East Hendred Scarecrow Trail 2010

21st August to 4th September 2010


This year the Scarecrow Trail ran from Saturday 21st August to 4th September.
The theme was "Characters from a Book"

Twenty nine magnificent scarecrows based mainly on
characters from children's books
graced gardens and porches all over the village.
Congratulations to the winners and everyone who took part, and thanks to
East Hendred Entertains
for organising this excellent village tradition once again.

For 2011 the theme is "A Royal Character".
