OVER the bank holiday weekend, there will be no crows in Sonning.

The village is being taken over by colourful scarecrows and everyone is invited to come along and visit them.

Local residents are creating a host of characters and putting them up in their front gardens for people to enjoy. Our gallery shows a small selection from the last festival, held across the village in 2014.

The bi-annual event also includes a range of open gardens and a selection of classic and vintage cars to appreciate.

Entertainment will also be available in the Pearson Hall and Sports and Social Club.
There is no entry charge, but trail maps cost £5 per adult and includes entry to the gardens.

Parking is available at the Mill at Sonning and also at Sonning Farm.
