Loftus
11th to 17th August
11th to 17th August
2019 will mark Loftus' 4th year as part of the summer-long Scarecrow Festival. Many of our scarecrows appear in or around businesses in the Town Centre, not just in household gardens. Also, the culmination of the Loftus Scarecrows ties in with the revived Loftus Produce Show, making Loftus doubly worth a visit on that day!
2016 - Theme was "Loftus", and involvement was really kick-started by the efforts of Loftus WI, whose members prepared several scarecrows to pose outside the Town Hall, and cajoled lots of others into having a go.
2017 - Theme was Loftus Goes On Holiday. The WI scarecrow in beach wear was a sight to behold - as was Postman Pat in a Hawaiian shirt..
2018 - Theme was Loftus Goes Back In Time, This year, Temperance Square Business Forum really joined in by not only holding a Funday in Coronation Park at the start of Scarecrow week, but also providing scarecrow frames and heads for children to add clothes and stuffing to, and take home to display in their gardens. And we had a trail of scarecrow drawings to find in business and community windows across the town,
2019 - Theme is Loftus Gets Fit. Lots of opportunities for scarecrows in shell suits and sports wear - bring out that disused Rowing Machine or WonderCore and drape your scarecrow in bright lycra in an action pose in your garden!
