The very loud Batala Drumming Band from Lancaster will provide a very visual and entertaining display as they parade through the town centre this Saturday, 30th June.
They will be joined on the parade by Rotary Robin and Rosie, two 12ft scarecrows, made by rotarians Geoff Shelmerdine and Bernard Davies.
The parade will depart from Sainsbury's at 11am and march to Multi-York, across to Barclays then down Grove Street to Bank Square.
The again, at 2pm they will depart from Bank Square and travel up Grove Street turning right and along Water Lane crossing at Felicini and back along Water Lane to Grove street and Bank Square.
Organiser of the Wilmslow Scarecrow Festival Geoff Shelmerdine commented "The Batala leader said they really enjoyed the 'buzz' of this route and the enthusiasm of the people of Wilmslow and asked us if they could come back again this year. So get your ear plugs and dancing shoes ready."
If you missed it last year I would recommend it - they were certainly loud, fun and created a fantastic atmosphere.
Over 100 straw creations are on display around the town until Saturday 7th July. They can be found hanging out on the streets, on display in shops windows, lurking in hidden corners and even positioned high on the rooftops.
The Wilmslow Scarecrow Festival will culminate with a grand display of selected scarecrows at the Wilmslow Show on Sunday 8th July, at the Wilmslow Dean Rotary Club stand where the final judging will take place.
All monies raised are used by the Rotary Club of Wilmslow Dean in the community to support local charities and worthy causes.
