Starting on 1st May 2024 we’re pleased to have the return of our free to enter ‘Messingham Show Build a Scarecrow’ competition.

We’re keen to see individual families and local groups or clubs enter this fun competition to build the best scarecrow. Entries are welcome from all.

Whatever skills and materials you have to hand will be eligible. As long as the end result fulfils the basic criteria of a scarecrow, one that would scare off birds from raiding the crops around Messingham!

There is no theme so get your creative juices flowing.

Please build and display your scarecrow in your garden ideally showing a sign pointing towards the showground. Be as creative as you like. Once it’s done, please complete the form below and attach a photo of your scarecrow. Also please share it via the Messingham Show Facebook page.

You have until 31 May 2024 to build your scarecrow and enter.

All photos will be displayed in the Community Marquee at Messingham Show on Saturday 8th June 2024. Judging will be by the Mayor of North Lincolnshire with the winners announced at 2.30pm.

There will be prize money for 1st - £75, 2nd £50 and 3rd £25

Please be by the Community Tent on show day 8^th June at 2.30pm as you may be a winner!
