The weekend
of Saturday and Sunday 16th and 17th June was the occasion
of Lubenham's first Weekend of Straw.
All villagers were invited to place a scarecrow at the front
of their house and many gardens were opened to visitors. Other
events that took place were children's sports, tours of the
bell tower, cream teas, steam engines on the green, classic
cars, the school choir performed, tug of war tournament, barbecue
and much more.....

on the event!
The weather did its best to make things difficult, however
the village pulled together magnificently and many hardy visitors
joined us to make the event a real success. Even a mindless
act of vandalism which saw one scarecrow doused in petrol
and set alight during the night did nothing to spoil a super
occasion....

There were also rumours and reports of a midnight scarecrow
kidnapping.....

story!
Why not pay a virtual visit to many of the scarecrows that
popped up in the village overnight, we may not have managed
to capture them all but there are 72 here for you to enjoy
either for the first time or once again!

CD-ROM featuring all 72 scarecrow photographs (full
size) featured on this site run as a slide show is available
