The 16th Haxby and Wigginton Scarecrow Festival
The Scarecrows are on their way back, and are looking forward to seeing all their friends — both old and new!
It’s a great day out!
All trails start at Haxby and Wigginton Methodist Church. We have a mix of long and short trails, suitable for long and short legs. Children (and adults!) feel like explorers: leading the way with trail map and directions in hand!
Trail Maps on sale 10am–4:30pm
Trail maps are only £3 each, or all five for £12 — the money raised from the Festival goes to four great charities and good causes (see below).
It’s good value — Your family only needs one map for a trail!
Answer puzzle-clues as you go round to enter our competitions!
Scarecrows on show 10am–7pm
Take your time and enjoy yourself! Perhaps do one or two routes a day, or maybe split the longest route over a couple of days if you like?
Refreshments available 10am–5:30pm
Soup, sandwiches, cakes and toasted teacakes are available in our Church Hall, along with tea, coffee and squash. (And of course toilets are here too!)
Coming by bus or bike?
Routes 1 and 20 stop right outside our church (ask for Haxby Pond).
Routes 13 and 14 stop just around the corner (ask for Westfield Road).
We have four ‘Sheffield’ bike stands (8 spaces) at the front of the church. You’re welcome to use these whilst in our building. Others are available in Haxby’s main shopping area.
This year we’ll be using the money we raise to support:
YIKs All About Autism
OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity
Wilberforce Trust
British Red Cross
You can read more about these on our Scarecrows Festival web page.
