Scarecrows fortnight runs from 30 May to 12 June

This year’s scarecrow festival starts on 30 May and the theme is Under the Sea.

If you registered your scarecrow, it will be included on the map and you’ve entered the competition. Let us know if you spot any others and we’ll add them to the map.

The annual duck race and BBQ will be on Wednesday 12 June

Race starts at Warhurst Fold Bridge at 6pm and finishes at Weir Cottage, Hodge Lane (No parking available). Join us at the finish for the prize giving and BBQ…don’t forget to bring cash for burgers and sausages (with veggie options).

Ducks are £1 each and will be available at the Broadbottom Bazaar (Sat 8 June) and the AGM (Mon 10 June), both at the Community Centre.
