The Delph Scarecrows are back again for the 18th year!

This year the Scarecrows theme represents an Author, Artist or Inventor and are on display until June 15.

The Scarecrows can be found in and around the centre of Delph, with some near the village crossroads and others up Delph Lane, Clifton Holmes and Swam Meadow.

A circular tour will offer those taking part a pleasant walk.

Trail guides are available from Delph Post Office, the Co-op, the Old Bell and Delph Crafts.

The Scarecrow Trail is organised by the Delph Community Association and all monies raised this year will go to the upkeep of the Chapel Gardens.

Prizes donated by local businesses will be awarded to the winners by the DCA.
