Bagpuss, Clangers and Bluey scarecrows at charity trail
- Published
Lookalikes of children's television characters are scattered around a village in its annual charity scarecrow trail.
This is the 12th Scarecrow Trail, external for Holt, near Trowbridge, Wiltshire, which has a different theme each year and raises money for national and local causes.
The creations this year are from new characters through to the classics - from Bluey to a knitted Bagpuss - and can be seen until the end of 28 August.
For 2024, it is aid of the National Deaf Children's Society, as one of the organiser's children was born profoundly deaf.
The daughter of organisers Lisa and Paul Wickes, was born deaf and now has cochlear implants.
Other characters include Scooby Doo and Shaggy, Andy Pandy, Spongebob and a Clanger.
Last year, organisers said the event raised £5,000, more than it ever has before.
The scarecrows are made by local residents and displayed throughout the village, with people able to buy trail booklets from Holt Superstore and Wild Herb.
