A popular scarecrow festival is coming back to Little Lever and Darcy Lever, following a successful year last year.

The Little Lever and Darcy Lever Scarecrow Festival has been organised by Cllr Andrea Taylor Burke, and gives residents the chance to get their best scarecrow display together.

This is the second year for the festival, and last year residents displayed their best scarecrows outside the front of their homes, through a QR coded map.

The festival is all about celebrating the areas through creativity.

The festival will take place from October 8 until October 16.

To register for the event, email scarecrowfestivalllanddl@gmail.com or by calling 07964834836 or online at scarecrowfestival.wixsite.com/my-site.

This then allows street names to then be added to the map for the community to find.
