The 21st Torteval Scarecrow Festival will be held this weekend on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st  July 2024.

At the Torteval Parish Church you can walk the Scarecrow Trail (1½ hours approx) through some of Torteval’s delightful lanes.

Refreshments available throughout both days with licensed bar, entertainment and fete with various stalls.

This is the ninth year the GSPCA are taking part in this wonderful community event and we are hugely grateful to those at the home for the kind use of their front garden.

Are you wondering what the GSPCA theme is? Well you’ll have to head down this weekend to support the Torteval Scarecrow Festival to find out.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The team at the GSPCA has been busy preparing our entry for the Torteval Scarecrow Festival which takes place this weekend.”

“We are hugely grateful to the organisors for allowing us to take part for the ninth year in the Torteval Scarecrow Festival with our GSPCA entry and to those for allowing us to use their front garden.”

“Last year we won one of the amazing prizes with an incredible puffin scarecrow and we thank all that helped in 2023.”

“If you want to know what our display is from the GSPCA for the Torteval Scarecrow Festival then please pop down this weekend to see our entry and the many wonderful others as well as please donate kindly to help the hundreds of animals in our care.”

Tim Pellet one of GSPCA Scarecrow team said “Once again we have all been busy at the GSPCA meeting and building our Torteval Scarecrow Festival entry.”

“We really enjoy taking part in the Torteval Scarecrow Festival and thank you to all those involved.”
