INTERVIEWS: Beyond Radio hosts Wray Fair grand finale to scarecrow festival

Beyond Radio was delighted to once again host the grand finale of Wray Scarecrow Festival.

Huge crowds visited Wray Fair on the village field on Bank Holiday Monday - which brought the annual scarecrow celebration to a close.

As is traditional, residents of Wray created scarecrows and placed them outside their homes and other village buildings for visitors to see.'

This year the theme was the circus.

See below for a selection of Wray village scarecrows this year.

The festival and fair is organised each year by a team of residents.

Beyond Radio provided music and announcements on the day, which included a full programme of entertainment.

Samba drummers Samba Espirito, the Croix du Nord vikings, a dog agility display, and a family show by 'mad scientist' Professor Pumpernickel were among the highlights.

The event was hosted by Greg Lambert and Duncan Moore, with support from Luke Edmondson, Roy Ward, Sam Cragg, Paul Whitehouse, Steve York and Gibson Freedman. And of course, Beyond Bear was there too!

Paul and Gibson spoke to some of the stallholders and entertainers at Wray Fair 2025.
