The Famous Scarycrow Trail 2025
27 October 2025 – 02 November 2025
The famous SCARYCROW TRAIL has been running for over 18 years and causes great excitement amongst visitors and locals.
Follow the trail of weird and wonderful ‘Scarycrows’ around the villages, awarding them scores as you go. Pick up a trail map and score sheet from one of the village shops. Hand in the sheet at any of the same venues when you have finished the trail. We’ll add the totals together at the end of the week to determine the winning Scarycrow 2025! The decision is yours.
There is no charge for this event but, if you can, please give a donation for the trail map and score sheet, as all proceeds will be given to Cash For Kids Borders and North Northumberland
Dogs are welcome at Ford & Etal Estates, so feel free to bring them along too. Everywhere is accessible to buggies and wheelchairs.
