In 2008 Wigginton Methodist Church held a very successful Scarecrow Festival. During the course of the weekend over 1,500 people took part with more than £2800 being raised for charity. We had over 100 different scarecrows, which villagers had made, and four different trails for visitors to follow.

This year the event will be held on Saturday May 2nd, Sunday May 3rd and Monday May 4th

Trails will be available for purchase from 10.30 am until 4 30 pm on each of these days at Haxby and Wigginton Methodist Church. There will be refreshments and light lunches served in the Methodist Church Hall until 6pm. There will be also be craft and children’s activities taking place throughout the day.
