The 9th Annual Haddenham Scarecrow Festival will take place from 8th to 30th June. This popular annual event attracts visitors from all around the local area who come to follow the Trail Map and find all the scarecrows throughout the village.

This year we have chosen to support two local charities. ReLEAF Haddenham was set up in 2020 with the aim of doubling the tree cover in the parish of Haddenham. According to scientists, planting billions of trees across the world is by far the biggest and cheapest way to tackle the climate crisis. This is because wood is 50% carbon, so trees are a great carbon store, they take carbon out of the atmosphere. Many trees have already been planted throughout the village.

Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital, based in Haddenham, is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating all species of British wildlife. All British wild animal casualties brought to the hospital are treated completely free of charge and are released through a controlled programme, back to the wild, when they are fully fit. Tiggywinkles doesn’t receive government or lottery funding, so they are dependent on donations.
