THIS year's edition of a scarecrow festival in a Hampshire village was a huge success.

We have put together all the photos of the Kingfishers Colden Common Preschool Scarecrow Festival 2024, taken by photographer Stuart Martin at the event on Sunday, October 6.

Kids had a chance to go on a scarecrow hunt, looking for characters such as the Gruffalo, the three little pigs, Jack, of Jack and the Beanstalk fame, and the very hungry caterpillar.

The event was also for charity, with food bank donations to the Eastleigh Basics Bank more than welcome.

There were also tasty chocolate treats and a raffle, with riddles to solve for older kids and even arts and crafts competitions. Free passes for entry to Romsey Rapids were also handed out on the day.

The event was billed as "great family fun for all ages", and did not disappoint.
