Welcome to the 5th annual STRAW Scarecrow Festival's website!
This year the STRAW Scarecrow Festival in 2025 will be held at Haverings Girlguiding Centre from Saturday 27th to Sunday 28th September 2025 10am-4pm.​
​
To take part and build a scarecrow, please register using our REGISTER page. On the weekend of the event we'll ask people if they can set up their scarecrows in the grounds of Haverings Girlguiding Centre, either the Friday night or morning of the Saturday. Each participating Scarecrow will be allocated a number and therefore people can vote for it on the voting form.
On the day, entry will cost £2 and with this you'll get a voting form. Of course if you would like to vote more than once we can provide more ballots for an extra £1. All entry and voting money will go towards a local charity (TBC). Refreshments and other activities will also be provided, the profits of which will contribute towards the upkeep of our local Girl Guiding association.
Parking at Havering Training Centre, Lancing Rd, Luton LU2 8JN is limited so please be considerate when coming to this year STRAW Scarecrow Festival. ​
