Heather Scarecrow Festival
Once a year, in the nicest possible way, the good people of Heather go ever so slightly insane. Throughout the village the gardens are dotted with scarecrows. Scores and Scores of them, some of celebs, some of the topical, many of them cheerfully daft, and all competing for the votes of the people who come for miles around to see them.
This hugely popular event takes place in the Village of Heather in the heart of the National Forest From 11 am on Sunday31st July until 6pm on Sunday 7th August. There will be ample free parking at Heather St John’s Football Club (LE67 2QJ) or the Village Hall on Swepstone Road. Admission is free and guides are available for £2 to help visitors find all the Scarecrows and vote for their favourite. More details can be found on our website heatherscarecrowfestival.com. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter.
