2022 SCARECROW TRAIL - "Out of this World"
Sunshine and scarecrows - we were lucky again with the weather this year, and our scarecrows did not disappoint!
This year's theme was 'Out of this World' with every scarecrow having an Out of this World / Space reference in the title. 29 brilliant scarecrows visited our village during May half term thanks to school families, local residents, and children and teachers at the school. We also had bonus scarecrows at the New Inn Pub and Parish Rooms and our beautiful village church.
Trail goers came in their hundreds, and enjoyed a walk around our beautiful village with the fun of guessing the scarecrows along route. This year we had our first interactive scarecrow, and a community scarecrow with stars made by local residents!
Our final total raised was a record £2300 - all funds go to Friends of Westwood with Iford School to fund new facilities for the children - this year being spent on new gym equipment to enhance PE lessons.
Have a look at the answers below - did you get them all right?

Congratulations to you all :-)
It was our pleasure to be able to promote some wonderful local businesses - Westwood Stores and The New Inn Pub who did a fantastic job selling our maps and Iford Manor, Downside Nurseries, Number 10 Tea Garden and Bradford on Avon dog enrichment fields - all of whom provided prizes. Not forgetting Westwood Parish Rooms and their afternoon teas. We are so grateful for your help and support.
Many thanks to Westwood Social Club for the very kind use of your car park throughout the trail week - our trail goers loved your refreshment afternoons too.
Lastly thank you so much to all our enthusiastic trail goers for attending and supporting this event year-on-year.
