Scarecrows will be popping up around two Huddersfield villages this month.

Scholes and Denby Dale will host scarecrow festivals, which have drawn crowds of thousands in previous years and raised money for local causes.

Here are the scarecrow festivals coming up.

Sunday July 15, Scholes Scarecrow Festival: The theme is children’s books and the event will be raising funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance following a public vote. Start and finish at the Boot and Shoe pub, St George’s Road, Scholes, HD9 1UQ.

Scarecrows will be on display from 9.30am until 4pm but trail maps are available from the Boot and Shoe from 10am.
