The results of both of these will be announced after the Festival has ended.

Marie Telford, who Chairs the team who organise the Festival, announced the winners and said “ Over the past 6 years we have seen over 1000 entries into the Festival and an estimated 15 thousand people have taken the Scarecrow Trail. Once again this year the standard of entries was very high bringing a lot of pleasure to a lot of people.

There is still plenty of time to visit Hayling and Spot the Scarecrows!”
