A Northumberland town is currently hosting a scarecrow festival.

The event in Prudhoe, organised by the town's Community Partnership, features 38 scarecrows displayed in schools, community spaces, private homes, and businesses.

The festival encourages families and friends to find the scarecrows, promoting community spirit.

The scarecrows will be on display until Saturday, May 23, allowing more to join the display.

Each scarecrow has a name, which can be found at the venue if not displayed.

Prudhoe Community Partnership encouraged residents to 'have a go and enjoy the community spirit of Prudhoe'.

The festival aims to bring people to Front Street to explore and support local businesses.

The event also seeks to familiarise the public with different community spaces.

Leaflets about the festival have been distributed across the town.

Those interested in registering a scarecrow can scan the QR code on these leaflets, visit Prudhoe Community Hub, or email prudhoech@gmail.com.
