Maps detailing the locations of each scarecrow can be purchased from the East Hagbourne Community Shop or The Fleur De Lys pub for £1, and at the end of the trail you can vote for your favourite entry.

As part of the event, which ends on June 9, the Hagbourne Action Group are holding tea afternoons in the church on June 2.

This year all profits will be shared equally between Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue and WaterAid.
