The votes have been counted in the 2025 Penrith Scarecrow Festival with 3673 votes cast over the last few weeks for the amazing scarecrows that have been created and on display across Penrith.
Alongside the votes we have received messages from people
enjoying the 1980’s themed scarecrow trail around Penrith.
Before we reveal the winners of the 2025 Penrith Scarecrow
Festival the Penrith.Town team would like to thank everyone that has taken part
in the festival and those who have followed the trail around Penrith and all
who have voted for their favourite scarecrow.
The response has again been truly amazing and inspirational
with the community coming together to create a fun creative event that has been
enjoyed by the local community and has attracted visitors to explore the
Penrith Scarecrow trail as well.
The team are already planning for the 2026 Penrith Scarecrow
Festival but have taken onboard comments around dates for holidays and schools
to take art next year.
Due to the volume of votes received the team have been busy
counting them all and double and triple checking before we could announce the
winners of the 2025 Penrith Scarecrow Festival.
As a result of more votes cast for the Penrith scarecrows
than in the local council elections counting is taken a bit longer than planned
to count them all.
But we will reveal the winners at 8pm this evening (Sunday
31st August) when we will find who has taken First, Second and Third
in the 2025 Penrith Scarecrow Festival as voted for by 3673 of you over the
last few weeks.
