Elford Scarecrow Festival

Join us on 24th and 25th August 2019 for a scarecrow spectacular in the beautiful Staffordshire village of Elford.

The beautiful Staffordshire village of Elford has something to ‘crow’ about- the 8th annual scarecrow festival.

The festival is entirely in aid of local good causes and last year’s festival raised in excess of £15, 000.

Entry & parking is just £2 for adults, £1 for children, under 5’s go free. The route is buggy and wheelchair friendly.

The beautiful village will be filled with scarecrows- close to 100 adorned the route last year with creations from Boris Johnson to Pokemon . . . and everything in between! Thousands of visitors cast their vote to crown last year’s champion ‘The Red Barrows’- but which scarecrow will be crowned the people’s favourite this year?

• Vote for your favourite scarecrow from 100s on show made by the crafty folk of Elford
• New children’s area located in Howard Primary school including real life fire engine, bouncy castle and play area
• We’re delighted to announce that there will be a flypast by the RAF of a Hurricane & Spitfire aircraft
