From a first visit as a baby to helping on the stall at 11! ❤️

Our festival simply wouldn’t happen without the incredible volunteers who give up their time, energy and skills to make it all happen.

From the months of planning, baking, organising rotas, flyer drops, making signs and creating scarecrows, to running the pop-up café, stalls and car park during the festival itself.

And that’s not all! There are daily scarecrow and bin checks, social media, sandwich making and cake cutting, buses to arrange, countless little jobs to sort and lots of behind-the-scenes organising to make sure everything runs smoothly.

A huge thank you to our wonderful committee and every single volunteer who helps make the Kettlewell Scarecrow Festival what it is. 🥰

There truly would be no festival without you all! ❤️
