Here come the scarecrows!

The West Kilbride Festival is back on Saturday 13 August for the Scarecrow Gala.

Wrist bands are available for £10 which allows six hours of unlimited access to the fun equipment including bungee equipment, laser quest, large inflatable slide, small assault course for the under-8s, two bouncy castles, and something suitable for all ages.

There will also be a barbecue, beer tent, plant sale, tea room face painting and stall games.

And the Scarecrow Festival would not be complete without live music with bands performing throughout the day from 12 noon until 9pm.

All the fun takes place at Kirktonhall Glen. For more details, contact Jacqueline Wilson on 0793477711 or Eilean McCallie 07507 348 351.

The gala day opens at 12 midday and the fun and live music plus entertainment continues until 9pm. And of course, look out for the colourful variety of scarecrows appearing in shop windows, roofs, houses and gardens in the build up to the big day
