🩷 Desford Scarecrow Festival Update 💗

After much debate, we’ve made the difficult decision to take a year off and not hold the Desford Scarecrow Festival this year.

We’re sure you can all appreciate just how much work goes into putting this event on. It’s all organised by a small team of volunteers, and sometimes even the most loved traditions need a little pause. So for 2026, the pink Scarecrew tops will be staying in the wardrobe!

The exciting news? 2027 marks 10 years of the Desford Scarecrow Festival 🎉
We already have some amazing ideas and can’t wait to make 2027 our best festival yet.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — our volunteers, scarecrow builders, visitors, stall holders, entertainment, community groups, St Martins church, Desford parish council and sponsors. Your support truly means the world to us.

This decision wasn’t taken lightly, so please be kind with your comments 😃

We’ll be back — refreshed, recharged, and ready to celebrate in style!
