Dozens of scarecrows feature in annual festival

Nearly 50 scarecrows are taking over a Guernsey parish this weekend for an annual festival.

The Torteval Scarecrow Festival 2025 raised about £16,000 for local charities last year, organisers said.

Starting from the church, attendees will walk a scarecrow trail through the lanes.

Organisers said there would be 48 scarecrows in the competition this year.

Organisers said food and drink would be available as well as a variety of other stalls.

The GSPCA, Parkinson's Guernsey and the RNLI Guernsey Branch have all entered a scarecrow in the festival in previous years.
