A cast of 22 scarecrows will take centre stage on the trail, which follows a circular route through the residential streets of north west Kenilworth and borders open countryside and the historic old town.

Trail maps cost £3 and are available from the Priors Field PTA website, or in hard copy from outside Priors Field Primary School on Clinton Lane.

Visitors who complete the trail can vote for their favourite scarecrow by November 4 have a chance to win a prize.

Priors Field's headteacher Katy Braley said: “Thanks to the creativity and craftsmanship of our wonderful children and their families, we once again have an exciting scarecrow hunt to share with local residents.

“We hope everyone enjoys the trail, which we think offers the perfect mix of fun and fresh air.”

Vicky Chambers, the chair of Priors Field Primary School PTA, sadded: “Our wonderful school community has pulled out all the stops to bring the West End to Kenilworth

“We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone and hope to make this year’s trail another hit for our school.”
