Overton Wheelbarrow Race 2026

About The Production

The Overton Scarecrow Festival returns as a big two-day community celebration at the Overton Recreation Centre on Bridge Street, bringing the whole village together for a weekend packed with colour, creativity and proper family fun. Expect streets and grounds filled with imaginative scarecrows, live entertainment, stalls, food and plenty for kids to get stuck into, all set around the Bridge Street recreation ground. It’s the kind of event where people of all ages get involved, whether that’s making a scarecrow, running a stall or just wandering around spotting the best designs. A real highlight of the village calendar, it’s relaxed, busy, and full of that classic Overton community spirit where everyone turns up and the place just comes alive.
