Scarecrow Hunt

 

Mutford Scarecrow Hunt
Saturday 31st August - Sunday 1st September 2024

The Mutford Scarecrow hunt is one of the most popular events the village holds. We will be running it again this year on Saturday 31st August and Sunday 1st September.

For those of you who may not be familiar with the Scarecrow Hunt format we ask villagers to make and display a scarecrow over the 2 days. It must be an easily recognisable personality from sport, tv, cartoons, politics, films, nursery rhyme or perhaps a craft or trades person.

On receipt of your entry the compiler will create an accompanying rhyming clue.

Your scarecrow should be displayed between 9:30am and 4pm on the two days of the hunt. Entry forms are sold to those of the public wishing to take part with a map and clues to help them find and identify the scarecrows around the village.

We hope that the route will include Mill Road, Welch Close, Hulver Road, Church Road, Chapel Road and Holly Lane. If you do not live in these area's but would like to enter a scarecrow that is not a problem. We can arrange for it to be displayed on the route. There will be refreshments in the hall on both days.

The more scarecrows the better - you could make the difference to the success of this year's event.

Roy Hurrell, Chairman Mutford Village Hall.
