Hartshill Scarecrow Festival 2021

After a couple of months preparing for the big day, Miss Muffet was finally driven to her sitting point in the church garden on Church Road. She was assembled and sitting very comfortably when you wouldn’t believe it, but along came a spider…….

It was a lovely day with lots of interaction with the local community. Miss Muffet was soon having her picture taken with some of the locals and I think she was a big hit. Well done to our attendees for designing and making a fun scarecrow. She was created all from recycled materials on the farm.

We walked around to see some of the other scarecrows and they were all really good making a truly fun day. Well done Hartshill and Thank You to Julie Peart and her team for a great weekend!

My name is Jonathan Smith, I am 47 years old and a few years ago I had a dream. I used to work in a fantastic club called the Parkway Club which was based at Park House on Riversley Road in Nuneaton. This club used to meet every Wednesday evening for a few hours and was for people with learning disabilities and difficulties. I loved this club and so did all of the staff and club members. It was a fun social club which I genuinely felt made a difference to people’s lives. One day sadly, due to the economic climate the funding was cut by the council, the club had to shut and the building was sold. I am a great believer in action and so when I saw a sign at a local country show I knew exactly what I was going to do, I was going to start a Care Farm!
