The Owslebury Scarecrow Trail is returning for its fifth year this Saturday, offering entertainment for the whole family.

On Saturday, May 25 visitors to the hilltop village will be able to follow the trail of more than 30 scarecrows, which will be on show for a week until Sunday, June 2.

Now in its fifth year, the trail of straw characters will depict ‘heroes and villains’ adorning the main roads and the Glebe Field beside the church.

The creations include a range of characters from the worlds of TV, film and even politics, and will represent either ‘friend or foe’ depending on opinion.

The trail offers half-term fun with a chance to win a meal at The Ship Inn, Owslebury, for those who identify the most characters.
