The Rowntree Park Scarecrow Trail is back! The trail is a popular and well-loved community event, so why not join in the fun over the weekend of Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th of May 2024? The trail is both in Rowntree Park and takes you through local streets with a fun quiz to do as you go!

You can pick up a trail sheet from the Friends of Rowntree Park stall in Rowntree Park (below the cafe) between 10 and 4pm either day. You can also get trail sheets from some local shops and cafes including Lapin and Angel on the Green. Trail sheets are £2 and any profit goes back into buying plants for the park and the good work our volunteers do. Completed trail sheets to be returned to our stall by 4pm on Sunnday 12th for a chance of being entered for a prize draw.

To tie in with the park’s focus on the ‘Pollinator Project‘, highlighting the work the volunteer gardeners do in Rowntree Park to help biodiversity, the scarecrows you will find are likely to be mini beasts of some description – think butterflies, bees, caterpillars. ladybirds and more! Bugs and beasties galore, on a bigger scale!
