Scarecrow Festival Brings Whimsy to East Bierley

Dozens of handmade scarecrows transformed East Bierley during the summer festival, turning the village into a trail of creativity and family-friendly fun.


SCARECROW FESTIVAL

East Bierley was filled with colour and creativity as the Scarecrow Festival returned for 2025. Residents displayed handmade scarecrows across gardens, greens and roadsides.

Entries ranged from traditional scarecrows to characters inspired by films and local folklore. Visitors followed a trail map and voted for their favourites, while judges selected overall winners.

The festival raised funds for village projects and brought neighbours together, strengthening community ties through shared creativity.
