Dingle dangle scarecrows will be settling down in spots across one of Kent's most picturesque parks this weekend.

The Westgate Parks Scarecrow Trail is an annual event in Canterbury and is hugely popular with families.

Schools, businesses, community groups and families have been busy creating scarecrows of all shapes and sizes and based on a wide variety of themes.

The Westgate Parks Scarecrow Trail is a popular event and brings hundreds to the park

This Saturday (October 13) they will all go on display within the park in St Peters Street for visitors to enjoy.

Entry to the park and the event is free but a trail sheet to help you tick off all the straw-filled creations is on sale for £1.50 from the Friends of Westgate Parks' stand in the gardens.

Children can make their own scarecrow crafts to take home from £2 per person and refreshments will also be available from the Tower House terrace between 11am and 3pm and from the catering facility at the Toddler's Cove play area.
