The festival is manned by volunteers, and we would hate to not be around to help you during the weekend if you visit outside of our opening times!
Additionally on the Friday morning, residents are often still busy finalising their creations, so if you visit before 12, then you may find that not all of our scarecrows are ready for viewing!
If you decide to just come for a drive to visit the festival, and you aren’t intending on stopping, please come and visit outside of festival hours as having people driving slowly and stopping unpredictably during festival hours is dangerous to pedestrians and other vehicles.
