  The Parish Council proudly present the return of Tendring 's  Scarecrow Festival

2nd - 11th May 2025

 

Join us in being part of Tendring's  SCARECROW FESTIVAL. It seems the scarecrows of Tendring have come out of the fields and will appear in Tendring village from 2nd-11th May 2025. We are hoping to have a number of scarecrows in gardens and spaces in the village.  THIS YEARS THEME IS HISTORICAL FIGURES !

You can help in a number of ways.Firstly you can  make your scarecrow ,and then position it in your garden. This will need to be visible from the road,as we plan for a drive through trail along the length of the village and its outlying areas. Who ever said that a Scarecrow HAS to be just a stuffed shirt and a straw hat? Why not be creative and make something over the top? This years theme is CHARACTERS FROM BOOKS. If you need ideas let us know. 

 

You will need to register your scarecrow with the organisers and its location as we plan to have a competition for children to find all the scarecrows.

Secondly, if making a scarecrow is  too difficult for you ,perhaps you could help by providing a cake or serving  cakes ,teas and coffees . We are hoping to involve as many people as possible. This is a chance to entertain the children but also to allow us adults to have some fun too.

 If you have any questions please let us know. An amount of  hay will be available but the scarecrow can be stuffed with material ,plastic bags or plant pots as well.

You can also get involved by helping us run a cake and tea shop at the Village Hall. This could take the form of serving the cakes and /or providing some cakes for sale on Saturday 3 May  and Saturday 10 May.  All help/cakes would be gratefully received.

There will also be a prize for the best scarecrow following a vote by the general public.

Please let us know if you are interested and we will do what we can to help if you have any difficulties. Pinterest and many other websites have some great ideas.

 Good luck

Thanks
