2024 Theme

Once again we put this year’s trail theme to the public vote for the parish to decide on. It was a close vote, but in the final week of voting a clear winner raced into the lead!

As voted by you, our 2024 Frampton Cotterell Scarecrow Trail theme is… Fairytales!


Scarecrows… and more!

For this year’s Scarecrow Trail, we have decided to expand the definition of “Scarecrow” so that more people can get involved!

As well as the traditional full-sized scarecrows, this year we invite people to also create “mini scarecrows” (to go on flower pots, windowsills, fences etc.!) or “Window Trail” style art displays (examples of window trail art: Beacon Arts Window Trail; Marple Window Wonderland; Banwell Window Wonderland).

We can’t wait to see what you create!
