HARPOLE VILLAGE SCARECROW FESTIVAL 2011

festival history

The Harpole Scarecrow Festival was started in 1997 to raise funds for All Saints Church in Harpole. The continuing success of this endearing village tradition means that it has been possible to carry out a number of vital church projects and repairs over the past few years.

In 2007, a new village committee was established made up of representatives from Harpole village charities, and thankfully it includes members of the old church committee who have stayed around to pass on their expertise. Since then the money raised has been distributed to help a wide range of local community projects.

The spirit of Harpole's Scarecrow festival is all about our community working together to provide a weekend of simple family fun and creativity, whilst raising funds for the benefit of a wide variety of village projects and charitable causes.
