The Holt Scarecrow Trail is an annual event that takes place every August in the village of Holt, Wiltshire.
Visitors can follow a trail of imaginative scarecrows designed and created by local residents displayed throughout the village alongside refreshments hosted by community groups, the village churches, pubs and café. Come along and explore the village of Holt and enjoy the creativity of the community.
CHILDREN’S TRAIL
In 2024, the Children’s Trail will be Current Children’s TV Shows and include 20 clues to solve.
This trail runs separate to the Main Trail with its own trail sheet. Families can take part in the Children’s Trail and the Main Trail at the same time if you choose to do so.
Those seeking added adventure can also enjoy our extra challenge to find a picture of Elliott, our cheerful scarecrow mascot, stationed alongside some of the “Main Trail” scarecrows. Each of these scarecrows will bear a letter, collectively spelling out the name of a Children’s TV Show. Will you be able to find them all?
