There's still time to take part in our Scarecrow Trail Summer Challenge 🌞 running throughout August. Pick up or download a trail map and search the town for the Scarecrows with letters on - the letters will make up a word.
Pick up a form at the Town Council Offices, Beaminster Museum or Hogshill Stores (Spar). Completed entry forms should be posted through the letter box at the Public Hall, 8 Fleet Street, Beaminster, and a winner will be drawn from all correct entries. The trail map and entry form is also available to download from the Discover Beaminster website at
https://discoverbeaminster.co.uk/2025/07/08/scarecrow-trail-summer-challenge-2/. At the end of the month a £25 voucher to spend in a Beaminster shop of your choosing will be awarded to two lucky winners. HINT: The word has something to do with FARMING... 👨🌾
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 Bramble & Rose Garden Care and 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). To take part, please contact Cllr Daniel Biggs at
[email protected] with your address and he will photograph your scarecrow at the end of August for the public vote. Voting will take place across a few days in early September followed by a prize giving ceremony.
