In pictures: Great Wyrley gets weird and wonderful with annual Scarecrow Festival
Everyone was getting creative for a weird and wonderful walk around the South Staffordshire village of Great Wyrley at this year's Scarecrow Festival.
Dozens of Great Wyrley residents got creative this year as part of the village's annual scarecrow trail.
This weekend was a weird and wonderful one as people walked around all of the houses and schools that took part and created their own scarecrow.
The festival which took place on Saturday and Sunday (May 17 & 18). Sunday's trail was followed by a fair organised by Great Wyrley Carnival Committee - outside Harrisons Sports and Social Club from 1pm for competition, fair, food and stalls.
Photos taken by Express & Star photographer Tim Thursfield show the wacky creations on display as spectators dropped loose change in the blue buckets. All the proceeds go towards the Great Wyrley carnival team.
