Scarecrow Trail 2024

The Magic of Cinema

The 2024 Duffield and Hazelwood Scarecrow Trail saw 70 scarecrow displays dotted all over the two villages for what turned out to another successful event over five fun-packed, and occasionally wet, scarecrow-filled days. For 2024 the trail celebrated ‘The Magic of Cinema’ with several cinema-magic scarecrow creations including Minnie Mouse, Minions, Barbie, Mary Poppins to name a few.
