A scarecrow festival will be returning to a Bolton village this month.

Blackrod Scarecrow Festival will be taking place on June 24 and 25 this year, returning for its 15th instalment.

There will be a scarecrow competition, stalls and more at the festival.

Stalls will be trading from 12pm-3pm on both days.

The festival returned last year after a pandemic-induced hiatus, with special guest Worzel Gummidge making an appearance.

There were over 100 scarecrows at the festival, including Boris Johnson, an homage to Call The Midwife, pirates, the minions, and a scarecrow showing how cricket scores were kept in the 1750s.
