Scarecrow Competition

You can take part in the Hurst Horse Show & Country Fayre Scarecrow Competition. All you need to do is build a scarecrow which will be suitable for one of the categories detailed below.

Your entry does not need to be a traditional scarecrow as we know it, you are free to let your imagination run wild. Why not make a scarecrow of someone famous? You can make a scarecrow from virtually anything. Local traders could use scarecrows to effectively highlight their particular business, drawing on the theme of the business for creative inspiration.

Scarespoon Competition

This year we have introduced a new category to the competition - "Scarespoons" - smaller scarecrows based around wooden spoons.

The competition entrants will be judged on the show field on Sunday 24th June at 11:30a.m. A designated area will be assigned for the display of the entries and all entries must be in that area prior to the judging being started. The winner of each category will receive a prize.

Entries can be submitted either to Duncan Kendall C/O St. Nicholas Primary School, Hurst in advance or at the show on the day. Entries submitted in advance will cost £1 per entry form. If you submit your entry on the day of the show then it will be £1.50.

2. All entry fees must be paid prior to the start of the judging.
3. All scarecrows should be in the designated area at the show prior to judging commencing on Sun 24th June 11:30a.m.
