Silchester Scarecrow Trail 2022
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Silchester Scarecrow Trail
We had 13 excellent entries around the village and many families and friends visiting the Scarecrows during the half term week.
Thanks to the Pop up Café and Calleva Arms for selling and collecting in the maps.
Scores were very close. But we are pleased to announce the overall winner for best scarecrow is Deerhurst, School Lane
and the winning entry was the Fraser family who correctly got the anagram as “Queen of Hearts” – both win a voucher for the Pop up Café.
We will be hosting the event again in 2023.
A really big thank you to everyone who created a scarecrow this year

Silchester Scarecrow Trail 2020
This was one of the few events that we were able to put on in the village during lockdown and it was great for families to be able to follow the trail during their daily exercise outings
Thank you so much to everyone who entered a scarecrow - we couldn't do this without you.
We had a 'Jim Henson' theme this year and had some fantastic entries

The first scarecrow trail in Silchester was a great success – we have received great feedback from lots of people who attended and enjoyed their walk around the village. All the entries were brilliant and it was lovely to see so many people walking around our village, We sold over 200 maps! – we hope to run the event again in 2020 and I hope you will be keen to enter again and we will get some additional entries from around the village
Some photos will be going on the Association FB and Website in the coming days and look out in the newbury weekly times
