🌾💛✨ THANK YOU, WORSTHORNE & HURSTWOOD ✨💛🌾

Before this year’s winner is announced we just wanted to say a big thank you! What an unforgettable weekend.
The Scarecrow Festival 2026 has been everything we hoped for and so much more. And that is entirely down to YOU 💛

To everyone who created a scarecrow, hosted a stall, performed, baked, organised, volunteered, supported, visited, shared, sang, danced and smiled… thank you.
This weekend has shown exactly what our community is all about, people coming together, lifting each other up, and creating something full of joy, creativity and connection 🌟

From the incredible scarecrows lining our village, to the laughter on the Green, to the music, the dancing, the conversations and the moments shared… it has been truly special.

We are just a group of local people who wanted to bring something positive to our community and what we saw this weekend was beyond anything we could have imagined.

💛 This is what community looks like. 💛

Thank you for being part of it. Thank you for creating the joy.
