Urchfont Scarecrow Festival Charity

Urchfont Scarecrow Festival Charity Wiltshire's first, biggest and best scarecrow festival. 2–4 May 2026 Prizes are awarded for the best entries, and there is a lucky programme draw.

Now in its 26th year, this successful charitable event takes place every year over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. Over 50 themed scarecrows are made and displayed by residents of this beautiful and historic Wiltshire village. Visitors can buy a Trail Map and Programme and walk around the village solving the clues and matching them to the scarecrows. A special Children's Quiz is also available,

with special picture clues for them to solve at each scarecrow location. All proceeds go to village and community good causes in Urchfont, and a large donation is also given to the Wiltshire Air Ambulance each year. Around the village pond, a barbeque serving high-quality, locally sourced burgers and sausages, a tea tent serving real home-made cakes, and a beer tent serving locally brewed real ales add to the lively atmosphere.
