The people of Winstanley & Highfield are coming together to raise money for Wigan & Leigh Hospice with their Scarecrow Festival.

Families in and around the area are putting together creative master pieces and displaying them in their gardens providing a boost to community spirit. This fun and enjoyment is also shared online via the Winstanley Walks Facebook page.

We are asking for a donation to Wigan & Leigh Hospice for each scarecrow to go on a detailed map for kids young and old to follow on 25th-26th October.

We would like to thank in advance those who take part along with those who share images and donations.
