Dozens of families flocked to admire the scarecrows on display in the Burnley neighbourhood and, after the tour, there was a fun day with stalls and attractions.

Organised by Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch the two day event was first launched last year to keep residents' spirits up during lockdown.

This year organisers wanted as many residents as possible to take part in the festival so the team extended it to include Rosegrove Lane, Owen Street, Lowerhouse Lane and Gannow Lane.
