Come and join us for a day out in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales with a ride to Kettlewell for its ever so popular Scarecrow Festival. Come and see how many different types of Scarecrows you can spot, all made and designed by the local village people. The first Scarecrow Festival was held back in 1994 as a fundraising event for Kettlewell Primary School, which has played a vital role in the community for generations, serving the local villages, isolated hamlets and remote farms of Upper Wharfedale. There was no official trail around the village back then but residents were encouraged to create scarecrows depicting their profession, which included farmers (of course), a doctor, decorator and an electrician up a ladder, with sparks fizzing from the fuse box, which became a favourite with visitors for many years. Thanks to such an enthusiastic response from villagers, more and more scarecrows started to appear every year – in gardens and doorways, peeking over walls, clambering up drainpipes and popping up in every corner of the village. Not surprisingly the fame of the festival started to spread further afield and soon visitors were arriving by the coach load to spot the scarecrows on a wander around this idyllic Yorkshire Dales village. Over the last 30 years, the festival has grown from strength to strength with high standards of creations and characters, who are usually easy to identify by young or old alike.
