The Heather Scarecrow Festival is back for a week - starting this Sunday.

Once a year, in the nicest possible way, the good people of Heather go slightly insane!

Throughout the village, the gardens are dotted with scarecrows, scores and scores of them, some of celebs, some topical, many of them cheerfully daft, and all competing for the votes of the people who come from miles around to see them.

It's the perfect outdoor family event!
