🌾 Gracehill Scarecrow Festival 2026 🌾

What a year it was! ❤️

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported the Gracehill Scarecrow Festival in any way.

Whether you entered a scarecrow, visited the festival, volunteered, helped behind the scenes, supported our local businesses and stallholders, shared our posts, or simply came along and enjoyed the weekend — we couldn’t have done it without you!

And, of course, a massive thank you to our incredible committee of volunteers ❤️

Your time, hard work, enthusiasm and dedication are what make this festival possible. From all the planning and organising to the little jobs that happen behind the scenes, every bit of it is appreciated more than you know.

Gracehill Scarecrow Festival wouldn’t be the same without you.

🌻 Thank you for making 2026 so special! 🌻

Until next time… that’s a wrap! 🎬🌾❤️
