The 20th Torteval Scarecrow Festival will be held this weekend on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th July 2023.

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 eighth year the GSPCA are taking part in this wonderful community event and we are hugely grateful to the McIntyre family 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 headed by Seb 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 eighth year in the Torteval Scarecrow Festival with our GSPCA entry and to the McIntyre family for allowing us to use their front garden.”
