Scarecrow Trail 2017
Memorable / Monumental Moments in History
After the amazing success of our inaugural event the previous year, the Duffield Scarecrow Trail returned with a bang in 2017. This year the village helped to recreate ‘Memorable Moments in History’.
Duffield showcased many spectacular scarecrows, commemorating events ranging from the conquest of Everest by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the Great Fire of London, and the fall of the Berlin Wall, to England winning the World Cup in 1966 and the release of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles.
