The Foxton Scarecrow bi-annual Feast took place in October and brought out a host of interested families to view the 40 amazing displays that had been erected around the village. From a simple single figure to more elaborate creations, all of which, had been cleverly and lovingly assembled, mostly in residents’ gardens, with the theme being characters from books.

From mid-day until 5pm there was a full programme of events around the village to complement the charactures. St.Laurence Church hosted a children’s scarecrow making competition, an Autumn flower show, and the Foxton Singers also entertained, whilst on the green, there was a tombola stall and a raffle. The Village Hall staff dispensed beverages, whilst customers browsed a variety of stalls, and watched the Impromptu Band entertain.
A spokesperson for the village willingly stated that “There’s no rural decline in Foxton. It’s a thriving village, and everyone comes together when there’s an event and when they are required to. It’s one of the best communities in South Cambridgeshire.”
