Dozens of straw-stuffed characters were dotted around the village. There was also a music festival, stalls, games and more.

Buses from DACT were on hand to help people get around the village to see 
the different scarecrows, which ranged from the friendly and traditional to the downright scary as visitors voted to pick the winner from the festival.
