A weekend of fun and entertainment for the whole family!
A Swinton community event centred in and around St Margaret’s Church
Following on from the success of Swinton’s first Scarecrow Festival last year, we are holding another festival in September.
We will keep these pages updated with news and information on the Swinton Scarecrow Festival as it becomes available. Please use the Scarecrow Festival Contact form if you have any specific questions. This year's theme is the 'Best of British'! A theme offering plenty of scope for creativity and originality - whether you choose to celebrate our success in the Olympics (hopefully!), the Royal Family, Films, British Industry or British eccentricity - the opportunities are endless!
