Twyford Scarecrow Trail 2025- Applications now open!
We are excited to announce that the Twyford Scarecrow Trail is back this October half term, and we’re now accepting applications from residents, businesses, and community groups who would like to take part!
From Monday 27th October to Saturday 1st November, our village will be transformed into a wonderful trail of creative scarecrows for everyone to enjoy. This will be our third year running the trail, organised jointly by the Polehampton Infant and Junior Schools PTA and The Colleton School PTA, and we can’t wait to see the streets of Twyford come alive again.
This year’s theme is “T for Twyford”, so let your imagination run wild! Your scarecrow could be:
-
A famous person whose name begins with “T” (Taylor Swift? Tom Hardy? Tina Turner?)
-
Someone trampolining, tap dancing, or doing Taekwondo
-
An creature like a tortoise or toucan
-
Or your child’s favourite TV or book character that fits the theme
If you live in Twyford, simply sign up using the form below and display your scarecrow from 9am–5pm each day of the trail. If you don’t live in the village but would love to join in, we can match you with a local resident or business who can host your creation, just drop us an email polehamptonpta@gmail.com. Applications are open until Wednesday 8th October.
As always we are actively encouraging inviting local businesses to take part. Not only is it a brilliant way to support our schools, but it’s also a great way to join in the fun and bring customers to your door.
Why take part?
-
It’s a fantastic, family-friendly community event
-
It raises funds for two local schools, benefiting hundreds of children
-
It’s the perfect excuse to get creative and have fun!
So whether you’re a scarecrow-making pro or a complete beginner, we’d love to see what you come up with.
If you just want to do the trail but not make a scarecrow all you need to know is that the trail will be open every day from 9am-5pm. You will be able to buy your map for £3 from Grapevine (9am-5pm) or Ola Coffee Co (9am-3pm) every day of the trail.
Please complete the form below to apply — and let’s fill Twyford with more scarecrow magic this October half term!
