AN estimated 2,000 people have attended a popular scarecrow weekend in a Worcestershire village.
The Scarecrow Weekend took place in Feckenham on Saturday (October 10) and Sunday (October 11).
The popular free-to-attend event featured over 40 scarecrow creations crafted by Feckenham villagers and was visited by an estimated 2,000 people, with around 700 trail maps handed out.
At the event, the winning scarecrow was chosen by the visiting public, with Sue & Bill Rollins' 'Married at First Scare' taking the title.
The event was organised by the Feckenham Artisans Network, who say they were 'delighted' that so many people braved the autumnal weather conditions to support the scarecrow event.
A spokesperson for the event said: "We're delighted that so many people braved the first slightly chilly weekend of the autumn to come to view our wonderful scarecrows.
"All of the gentlemen and ladies of the fields were created by villagers, and a huge amount of time, effort and creativity went into their making.
"Unlike some other similar festivals in the area, Feckenham's doesn't charge for entry, and there are no commercial outlets - the idea is simply to give people an enjoyable day out.
"Despite this, generous donations from visitors, combined with the proceeds from the busy tea tent and grill, have resulted in a healthy surplus - all of which will be spent on the upkeep and improvement of Feckenham's historic village green."
