Norland Scarecrow Festival 2018
Starting on Friday 31st August until Monday 3rd September, this wonderful festival raises money for the Norland Village and local charities.
Local home and business owners make their own scarecrows to create a trail of around 80 scarecrows and this year the theme will be scarecrows whose names begin with the letter ‘N’.
Don’t forget to keep your eye out for golden rocks too! The Norland Scarecrow Festival committee have teamed up with the #calderdalerocks Facebook group and the students at Norland junior and infant school have drawn some pictures on the rocks ready for their ‘rock drop’.
If you find one be sure to take it to the scarecrow marquee over the weekend you’ll receive a scarecrow themed prize!
While you’re out and about in Halifax, why not pop in to Broad Street Plaza to catch a film or have some dinner with the family? The perfect end to the summer holidays!
