The theme of the 2026 Mortimer Scarecrow Trail this year will be ‘Game On!’, running as usual over the autumn half term; Saturday 24th to Sunday 31st October.
We’re looking for all things playful! Anything connected to games and the playing of them will likely be accepted: sports, toys, board, card or computer games… We would love to get your early ideas and to encourage both our regular and new scarecrow makers to start musing about exciting creations. There will be the usual array of prizes, including for the funniest, the environmentally friendliest, and for the best newcomer. So, nudge your neighbours, pop your kit on, and start rolling the dice!
Please send your ideas to scarecrow@mortimervillage.org.uk As ever, we will try to help avoid duplicated ideas, favouring the first to come up with a concept. More information will follow on social media and on this website.
