Wray Scarecrow Festival and fair makes a welcome return to the village near Lancaster on Saturday April 25 until May 4 with plenty of entertainment and lots of scarecrows.
In the meantime, we’ve put together a gallery of pictures taken by our photographers at the event during the years 1999 to 2010.
We hope you enjoy taking a look at them as we look forward to this year’s festival.
