Huddersfield village Scapegoat Hill held its first ever scarecrow festival last Easter … and took the art of scarecrow-making to a whole new level. The theme was Disney and the villagers created 40 brilliant depictions of the most loved Disney characters that even crows would have loved. Word quickly spread and they had thousands of visitors to the village. This year the theme is Children’s Books and, once again, there will be more than 40 ‘scarecrows’ around the village for people to explore.
