Story
Friends of Burford, on behalf of Burford School, are delighted to announce Marlow Bottom's Annual Scarecrow Festival is back again this year.
We are again challenging the residents and businesses of Marlow Bottom to come up with their funniest and most creative scarecrows using everyday items you already have available. Your scarecrow can be any shape or size as long as it is not offensive or particularly gruesome and can be visibly displayed at the front of your own property from the start of the trail on Sunday 27th October to the end on Sunday 3rd of November.
Scarecrow entries can be submitted any time between now and the 14th October. All entries submitted by this closing date will be included on the official scarecrow trail map, copies of which will be available from Tin Town Coffee, The Barn Club and Da Luca at a cost of £3 per map (or £5 for 2 maps). There are voting slips at the back of the map for people to choose their favorite ones to win.
To enter your scarecrow please send an email with your name and address to scarecrow@friendsofburford.org.uk
We are inviting all of those who are participating by displaying a scarecrow to donate towards our charity for Burford School. Friends of Burford will donate 100% of the funds raised to the school to be put towards funding school projects and school improvements.
All of Marlow Bottom's residents and visitors will be able to enjoy the festival by following the trail around the village. Maps will be available to purchase from Sunday 27th of October for £3 (or £5 for 2) from Tin Town, the Barn Club and Da Luca. Please note there will not be a digital option for the map this year, the above business opening details are as follows:
Barn Club opening times: Everyday during the event 11 am - 11pm, parking spaces available, food served 11 am - 5pm, free kids disco everyday 4pm - 6pm
