Every year, we ask Lymm residents to design scarecrows on a chosen theme and display them outside their houses. We then create a route map allowing people to ‘follow the trail’ and see all of your creations!

This year’s theme is ‘Songs As Scarecrows’. We want you to take inspiration from a favourite song title. Pick a song that you like (or even one you don’t!) and depict the title as your scarecrow!

Think people, actions, phrases, or anything else that makes up the title of a well-known song – and use your imagination to show us a scarecrow that embodies that idea!

There will be three prizes (a £25 first prize, a £15 runner-up prize and £10 third prize) for the scarecrows our judges consider the best entries.

You must register by the deadline of 10th June to be included in the trail (this means your scarecrow location will then be included on our trail map), and your scarecrow must be ready and in position by Sunday 14th June.

The trail will remain in place throughout the festival period, 18th June – 28th June.

To register your entry for the trail, simply click HERE and complete the online registration form.

Please note that the deadline for entries is 10th June 2026.
