The Tetley Tea Folk. I loved this.

The village store had put on a great display of Mrs Brown's Boys, not a programme I watch but I know it's very popular.

Mary had a little lamb.

I found this one rather scary.

Some displays featured many scarecrows. There were seven attending this tea party.

Fit as a butcher's dog. I can see why, they're eating all the sausages.

I'm sure you'll agree, there's some very creative people living in the village of Kettlewell. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and it's on my list of places for days out in the future.
these are great.....love the ladies who lunch!
ReplyDeleteI love the ladies who lunch too, it's one of my favourites.
DeleteGreat photos Jo, I liked the tea party scarecrows. I agree with you about the scary one. Maybe it's Mrs. Rochester?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is, she does have a bit of a mad stare, doesn't she?
DeleteLoved the ladies who lunch! That's me and my friend Maria - lol!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, there's a few people I know who they could be.
DeleteWonderful pictures of some terrific scarecrows. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteThey were all so good. This is one festival we've been to a few times and I never get tired of it.
DeleteOh my goodness they are brilliant. What a great event to go to.
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed it. The village itself is so beautiful so it's the perfect place to wander and spot all the different scarecrows.
DeleteThey're all ingenious! :o)
ReplyDeleteThey're very clever. I love seeing all the ideas that everyone's come up with.
DeleteGood fun! I love the variety from political satire to feeding the lambs, very clever!
ReplyDeleteI think there's something there to raise a smile from everyone.
DeleteHi Jo,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab place and a great selection of scarecrows! I will definitely try to make it there next year as we're now much closer to Yorkshire.
Best wishes,

It's a great day out, and there's so many other lovely places nearby too. Pehaps you could also visit Bolton Abbey if you haven't been before, I'm sure you'd love it there.
DeleteBrilliant! great fun, liked the hungry caterpillar, but they are all very good, very creative xcx
ReplyDeleteWe were watching as children saw characters they recognised, the Hungry Caterpillar seemed to be a favourite.
DeleteThey are fantastic Jo! It was lovely to see more of them. I really liked the feeding the lambs one, and the very hungry caterpillar too!! I thought that the one you thought was a bit scary was a bit scary as well. xx
ReplyDeleteThere were just so many great ones. I'm not sure what the scary one was, perhaps someone knows who it's meant to be.
DeleteWow! They're so creative. Some are a little scary, like you said, but all are so detailed and realistic!
ReplyDeleteSome of them have so much detail, so much work must have gone in to making them. I love how there's some for both kids and adults too.
DeleteMore fabulous photos! I love the Ladies who Lunch, those headscarves made me smile :-) the bottom one looks like Margot from the Good Life!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day out no wonder you want to go again in the future.
The Ladies Who Lunch are brilliant, so realistic. Yes, Margot from The Good Life, she is like her. Do try any get there next year, you'd love it.
DeleteI like the ones with the lambs.
ReplyDeleteAnd the hungry caterpillar is wonderful, so different.

The lamb one definitely has the awww factor. Even babies would recognise the Hungry Caterpillar, but I loved the board behind it telling the story for anyone who doesn't.
