NORTON Fitzwarren Village Hall hosts the village's inaugural scarecrow festival over the Bank Holiday weekend.

More than 25 handmade scarecrows will be dotted around the village to find and identify.

The trail will start at The Skittle Community Coffee Shop, where maps and entry forms can be bought for £2.

Visitors will be asked to vote for their favourite adult or family scarecrow character creation, with all correct entries going into a prize draw.

The coffee shop will be open for entry forms and refreshments on Saturday and Sunday, August 25 and 26 from 9am to 5pm.

Entry forms should be returned by 3.30pm on Sunday, with the winners announced an hour later.
