Binfield Scarecrow Trail
Although it’s a 20 minute drive out of Maidenhead, the residents of Binfield put on a rather impressive scarecrow trail every year.
Simply pick up a trail map for £3 from The Foxes Den Cafe or Binfield Village Store and off you go! You could spend a few hours following the map round spotting some brilliant and creative homemade scarecrows, all displayed in the front gardens.
All proceeds go towards the maintenance of the local church, and it’s a great community event. It runs every day from Saturday 23rd October to Sunday 31st October.
