Visitors are invited to take a tour of the village using a Scarecrow map, to see the many and varied scarecrows adorning their front lawns, village green and church. From the humorous to the traditional, the event is a must-see village-wide celebration. Refreshments are on offer in the church, 1-4pm on Saturday and 2-4pm on Sunday, with the winners of the Scarecrow Competition announced at 4pm when the Rev'd Lucinda Wray-Wear will bless the scarecrows. There will also be a family scarecrow-themed service on Sunday 14th at 11.15am. All are welcome to join in the fun. Proceeds go towards the Access for All project at Christ Church Hilderstone.

This small rural church offers a warm welcome to all.  Our door is always open to strangers and friends alike, young and old.  With a messy corner for children, and full wheelchair/pram access, we endeavour to encourage all to our community at Christ Church.  Please do come along and join us for one of our services.
