2019 SCARECROW TRAIL - "Numbers"
JOIN US!
The theme for this year's Westwood Scarecrow Trail will be ‘Numbers’. Think of a film, book, character, song etc. which includes numbers or numerical references – perhaps someone will make 9 to 5, or the 3 Little Pigs or Count Dracula? We have + 30 scarecrows made by local families and Westwood residents for you to guess.
WHEN?
This year’s trail will run every day during May Half Term from Saturday 25th May to Sunday 2nd June 2019.
WHERE?
The trail starts and finishes at Westwood Costcutter Local (Tynings Way, BA15 2BU). You can buy your trail maps from the shop for £3.50 each. The trail (1.5-2 miles long) takes you on a gentle stroll around the beautiful village of Westwood, along a family-friendly route. There is a small section that crosses a field, but this can be avoided if you wish. The rest is along footpaths and residential streets.
Parking is available at Westwood Social Club (Lower Westwood, BA15 2AP) - approximately 200m from the start of the trail. You can also purchase maps at the New Inn Westwood, Number 10 Tea Gardens Avoncliff and Iford Manor

HOW?
Buy your maps and follow the route around the village to find the scarecrows. For each scarecrow you find, take a good look and try to identify which Numbers related film, book, tv programme, character, song or artist the scarecrow is depicting. Write the answer for each scarecrow on the trail map sheet. Once you've completed the trail, write your contact details on the trail map and return it to the village shop. We will draw our prizes winners from all entries which have attempted to guess each scarecrow correctly - it's the taking part that counts so don't worry if you don't get every single one right!
WHY?
It's great fun and at the same time will raise valuable funds for our village nursery and primary school.
REFRESHMENTS: Stop off en route for drinks and delicious home-made cakes at Westwood Nursery throughout the bank holiday weekend - serving 11am to 4pm each day.
SCARECROW BARBECUE: Join us for a Scarecrow BBQ in Westwood Park on Sat 25 May 2019 - 12 noon to 4pm - we will be serving delicious burgers, sausages and veggie options. We hope to see you there.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Thank you to all our fantastic scarecrow makers and hosts. It's not too late to help out.
You can get involved by:
- Helping during the week by selling maps and / or serving refreshments
- Baking cakes
- Spreading the word and encouraging as many of your friends and family as possible to buy maps and support the trail.
