Annual scarecrow festival set to return
The Scarecrow Festival will take place in the villages from Friday, April 29 to Monday, May 2.
People in the community display their own scarecrows for locals and visitors to see.

Visitors are then asked to return to any of the shops to vote for their favourite three displays, and the scarecrows with the most votes will win a cash prize.
Peter Wilson, chairman of Elie Fayre Day, the festival organisers, said: “It is something for everybody, whether a single person or elderly, it is a nice day.”
More than 60 scarecrows were displayed last year, and Mr Wilson added “another great display is expected this year”.

People are free to choose any theme they wish, and Mr Wilson noted that sometimes people pick a current motif, such as the ‘latest movie’.
As an example, he added that in previous years he did a Boris Johnson in 2012 to tie in with the London Olympics.
