Beaminster Scarecrow Trail

The 2026 Trail is here and this year the theme is

CARTOON CHARACTERS.

It would be fantastic if business owners and residents could help us make this a big, enjoyable and fun event for the Town.

As in previous years, the Council has provided a trail map to follow.

• Trail map/entry forms for the hidden word competition will be available from the Town Council office from 1st – 31st August.

Make a note of the letters you find, work out the secret word and return the form to the Council Office by noon on Wednesday 2nd September.

A £25 voucher to spend in a Beaminster shop of your choosing will be awarded to two lucky winners.

The fun doesn’t stop there. This year we want EVERYONE to be involved so we are bringing back the ‘Best Scarecrow’ competition with prizes for the winners kindly sponsored by Toller Trailers. We would like your scarecrow to be part of the BEST SCARECROW Competition (those that form part of the official trail will be automatically entered). Send a photo of your scarecrow to administration@beaminster-tc.gov.uk

Voting will take place across a few days in early September followed by a prize giving ceremony.

The competition will run for the month of August, so grab your wellies and straw hat, be creative and post your scarecrow on social media for us all to enjoy.
