Lynton & Lynmouth Scarecrow Festival 2026

It’s back! From 1st–14th July 2026, the streets of Lynton & Lynmouth, and the Lyn Valley, are going full cinematic as the Scarecrow Festival returns — and this year’s theme is Movies.

As you wander through the villages, keep your eyes open for big-screen legends, family favourites, cult classics and the occasional surprise, all reimagined in straw and thread by local businesses and residents.

There’s no competition and no rush. Just creativity, community, and a great excuse to slow down, explore, and enjoy the show.
Perfect for families, film fans, and anyone who fancies a wander with a bit of character along the way. 

 Donation buckets will be out during the event to support local causes and help fund next year’s Scarecrow Festival.

Come for a stroll. Stay for the stars.
