The First Narborough & Enderby Scarecrow Festival took place in the Leicestershire villages of Narborough & Enderby between Saturday 11th July and Sunday 19th July 2020. Despite the city of Leicester being in Lockdown the villages are outside the Lockdown boundary so the event was able to go ahead (with social distancing measures in place for those enjoying the creations) with a theme of At The Movies. My film features a selection of the scarecrow creations but there are plenty more to see a visit is highly recommended to the event which runs for a full week.

On the weekend of 26th and 27th May 2018 the village of Newbold Verdon received a dose of movie magic as the community got together to create the village’s first scarecrow trail on the theme of “Newbold Verdon at the Movies”. The event, which was the brainchild of Newbold resident Cerys Statham, tasked village residents to create scarecrows on a theme of “The Movies” and with almost every movie genre represented visitors where treated to a variety of creations from the Titanic on the cob shop through to the Tardis on Brascote lane and the entire cast of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory at the primary school the creations brought plenty of Hollywood movie magic to the Leicestershire village.
