After 2002's heavily Harry Potter themed display the big question on my first visit was what would be the theme this year ?... and I have to say that I was pleasantly suprised to see that there was a lot more variety in the displays, although I did get the feeling that there were less Scarecrows this year. This was perhaps partly due to the weather which contrived to be typically British during the week of the event.... nontheless the event remains a great day out for any visitors to the area and I heartily recomend it to people of all ages. I especially enjoyed a number of the cleverer scarecorws such as "Status Crow" and "Blair Crow" as well as the "Help I'm a celebrity get me out of here" display... which included Wayne Sleep in the toilet. There were also a number of topical presentations including the Royal Intruder crashing Prince Williams 18th Birthday party... Basically I can't wait to see what next year has to offer.

I have included a number of pictures of the scarecrows in the was 2003 gallery, for anyone who wishes to view more of the scarecrows from the 2003 festival.
