The Owslebury Scarecrow Trail returns for the summer half term offering entertainment for all the family.

Visitors to the hilltop village near Winchester will be able to follow the trail of more than 30 scarecrows from Saturday 27 May until Sunday 4 June.

The straw characters depict favourite children’s TV programmes through the decades and adorn the main roads in Owslebury and the Glebe Field beside the church.

The creations include popular current programmes together with favourites going back to the 1960s.
