Fancy taking part in the Dorchester Festival Scarecrow trail this year? Scarecrows can be really simple, pulled together at the last minute or super creative, planned way in advance – up to you, as long as they resemble a hero or villain (real life or fictional).
Scarecrow entry £5 (entries must be received by Saturday 27^th April) scarecrows must be in place by 3 May 2024

Two ways to enter:

• fill out the form below & buy a ticket from the boxoffice for your £5 entry fee
• print out this form, fill it in and post it through the letterbox at either 73 High St or 3 Manor Farm Road with £5 entry fee (cheques can be made out to Dorchester Festival)

Or simply buy a map and take to the trail during Festival week… Maps (minimum donation) £4 from the Coop or the Festival Big Tent during Festival week.

Take a walk around our lovely village, peek into windows and gardens to see what heroes or villains are lurking. Can you guess who they are? Maybe it’s a superhero? A baddie from a movie? A favourite or loathed politician or sports star?  Vote for your favourite scarecrow. Fun for all ages.

Scarecrows are all visible from the street so this event is fully accessible to wheelchairs. If you need disabled parking or access do contact us here with your requirements – we’d love to help you!
