Organised by the Friends of Lacock School, the trail will feature scarecrows created by residents and local businesses based on well known characters from classic and modern children’s stories. Visitors will be invited to explore the village and see how many scarecrows they can spot along the route.

Activities at the school will include tea, coffee and homemade cakes, a tombola, and a raffle with fantastic prizes. A BBQ will be serving burgers and sausages,and ice cream will also be available.

Children can enjoy inflatables and rides from Austin’s Fairground on the school playing field.

A spokesperson for the Friends of Lacock School told That's Books and More: "The Scarecrow Trail is always a wonderful community event. 

"It brings the village together and attracts visitors from across the area while raising funds to support Lacock School."

The event promises a fun family day out while supporting Lacock School and the local village community.
