Scarecrow Festival – Bramhall & Woodford Rotary

27 Aug 2015

Bramhall & Woodford Rotary Club are busy getting ready for Bramhall’s Scarecrow Festival running from 29 August through to 12 September.

The scarecrows will over the next few days be converging on Bramhall Village to begin their holiday fun.

Billy Bow, the Rotary’s very own Roving Scarecrow has been out and about enjoying village life and has even fallen in love with I Love Bramhall’s Bella, planned a honeymoon and even got engaged! There has been a few incidents of stolen wellies, umbrellas and sadly Burt from Tesco & Ric from Construction Q’s have lost their heads! and we are appealing for their safe return.

Businesses, community groups and individuals were able to purchase a scarecrow creation kit for £20 from the Rotary and all profits will go to their charities, here’s the list of people involved, keep a look out for their scarecrow around Bramhall.
