I see lots while walking about Croperdy Village Near Banbury Oxfordshire at the weekend It was all apart of Celebrating The Old Folk Rock band that Grew up in the village and Are now 50 years old ( about as old as The rolling stones lol) They have a gathering in the village & up on the fields each year of around 30.000 people & invite other bands along, to play on there Glastonbury size Stage .....but the village Scarecrows are what I want to show you ...... Or at least the few I snapped while on walk about....

I wish I had Taken more of them as there was just so many about the village over the weekend the canal boats are also always of interest there as may are like little gardens and many also sell there hand made crafts of while moored up in there village

& just to finish off a sunset over the main stage

Absolutely lovely, a lot of work goes into these events, there is one similar to this at a village just outside Glastonbury in Somerset, Many people make up scarecrows and sit them around the village it's a real fun thing..

The imagination, the inventiveness that goes into these scarecrows! I could not pick a favorite--they are all amazing.
Canal boats with gardens aboard? Brilliant!
Thank you for sharing these photos. What a fascinating festival!

It is a lovely Fest & all that happens in the village is free to see & look around pretty much The main Festival is best booked in advance as it sells out most years now & the Pubs in the Village are a must visit if there as a good pint can do wonders
