Scarecrow festival, Kettlewell, Skipton
There are several scarecrow festivals dotted up and down the country, but the celebrations hosted in Kettlewell are perhaps the best known. Every August, residents of the small town create their own scarecrows which are positioned all around the village for visitors to admire. Guests can complete riddles along the way to compete for prizes, popping into the village hall, cafés and pubs for refreshments.
