Don’t be surprised to see some unusual characters around Sonning on the Platinum Jubilee weekend, as the village scarecrow trail will be in full swing.

Open gardens, classic cards and refreshments will line the route, making it a day out for the whole family.

At least 40 scarecrows have been confirmed for the event.

“We are looking forward to welcoming you at the Scarecrow Trail this year after two years off due to Covid,” wrote the organisers on Facebook.

The last trail featured Thunderbirds, Shaun the Sheep as well as Uma Therman and John Travolta dancing in Pulp Fiction.

Joining them were Star Wars characters, Count Binface and mermaids.

Harry Potter and his friends Hermione and Ron will be on display this year.

The event begins on Thursday, June 2 at 11am and lasts until 4.30pm. It will be running at the same time the next day.
