Scarecrow Trail 2022

Favourite TV or Radio Programme

For the 2022 Scarecrow Trail the village was well tuned in as it showcased many of our favourite TV and Radio shows. Across Duffield we had children’s TV characters, iconic TV presenters, some family favourites, even a few nostalgic programmes that took some of us right back to our childhood! Once again the village looked amazing with all the wonderful scarecrow creations on display.

POSTSCRIPT – Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth sadly passed away the week before the Scarecrow Trail was due to begin. We therefore made the decision, at very short notice, to postpone the Trail until later in the month as a mark of respect.

A huge thank you to the following for their help in making the 2022 Scarecrow Trail another huge success:

To PFL Mortgages for sponsoring this year’s Scarecrow Trail
To Duffield News, Treetops Duffield Charity Shop, Riverside Duffield and Elizas Flower Emporium for selling the Scarecrow Brochures
To The White Hart Duffield, Angelo’s Bistro at the Kings Head, Riverside Duffield, Corn and Kale, Jeff Barber and Art of Brilliance for providing (some of!) the raffle prizes
To The Broadway Broadcasting Collective, Lime Avenue Does Strictly and Natalie McDonald for hosting the refreshment stops and helping raise money for the Scarecrow Trail
To Ying, Fei, Helen, Paul, Alex, April and Geoff for manning the Scarecrow Hub over the weekend.
To Emma, Steph and Jack, Sara and Erin, Katie from Busy Bees, Kay from Croots Farm Shop & Cafe and John from Duffield Dairy for talking to BBC Radio Derby when they came to the village to see our scarecrows.
And lastly, but most definitely not least, a huge thank you to all our wonderful scarecrow makers – without your hard work there wouldn’t be a Trail at all.
