Wolverton Scarecrow Festival

A good but optional starting point: The Community Orchard, Woburn Avenue, Wolverton, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK12 5AY

  • Multiple dates available
  • | In person
  • | Pre-booking not required
  • | Walk / Tour

Walk around Wolverton’s historic Conservation Area of hundreds of terraced houses and you will find many scarecrows have come out over the weekend into front gardens and public spaces. Refreshments available at the Community Orchard.

The Scarecrow Festival is back for September 2026! We would love the residents of Wolverton to get creative and make a scarecrow to be displayed outside of their property over the weekend of the 12th and 13th of September. Previous ideas have included Postman Pat, robots, Minions, burglars climbing up drain pipes – but the theme is entirely up to the residents.

The walking route normally encompasses these streets:
- Green Lane
- Moon Street
- Victoria Street
- Osbourne Street
- Buckingham Street
- Aylesbury Street
- Oxford Street
- Western Road
- Eton Crescent
- Peel Road
- Windsor Street
- Cambridge Street
- Church Street

However, this is not a complete list, and we would welcome any other streets to get involved.

If residents and business owners are planning on making a scarecrow, please email us at [email protected] with your address so you can be added to the scarecrow trail!
