People flock to the festival every year from far and wide to see the many and varied scarecrows around the village near Lancaster.
Thousands turned out in 2024 for the finale of the annual scarecrow festival.
The field in Wray was teeming with people enjoying the sights and sounds of the traditional climax to the village's celebration of scarecrows.
Beyond Radio was proud to be there with our Roadshow, with the event featuring attractions including drumming band Samba Espirito, a thrilling Viking battle re-enactment, a dog agility display, live music, and the annual Great Ball Race along the river.
