SUMMARY:Wray Scarecrow Festival
DESCRIPTION:The longest-running Scarecrow Festival in the UK (we believe)\, is back for 2025. This year the theme is ‘Circus’ and all activities for the 10 day festival revolve around this\, culminating in the Wray Fair on Bank Holiday Monday\, 5th May. \nOnce again there are a variety of events taking place including 10k road race\, giant scarecrow parade\, car boot\, fell race\, local history walks and not forgetting the Wray Fair with entertainment and fun for all the family and\, of course\, lots of scarecrows! \nThe Festival began in 1992\, inspired by a similar event in France. It is organised each year by the ‘Scarecrow Committee’\, a small but dedicated band of local volunteers. The committee is supported by a much larger team of people who help with activities such as litter-picking\, ice-cream selling\, car parking\, programme selling\, bunting and marquee erecting\, etc. \nProgramme\nWray Scarecrow 10k Road Race\n1.15pm\, Saturday 26 April\nWray Village Hall\nFantastical Quests\n3pm\, Saturday 26 April\nMethodist Hall\, Kirkby Lonsdale\nCar Boot & Collectibles Sale\n8am\, Sunday 27 April\nWray School Field\nFell Race\n7pm\, Tuesday 29 April\nBridge End Farm Tea Rooms\, Wray\n\nLocal History Walks\n11am & 2pm\, Saturday 3 May\nGeorge & Dragon\, Wray\nGiant Scarecrow Parade\n5pm\, Saturday 3 May\nWray Village\nLocal History Walks\n11am & 2pm\, Sunday 4 May\nGeorge & Dragon\, Wray\nWray Fair\n10.45am\, Monday 5 May\nSchool Fields\, Wray\nLocal History Walks\n11am\, Monday 5 May\nGeorge & Dragon\, Wray\nKeep up to date at wrayscarecrows.wordpress.com

SUMMARY:Kirkby Lonsdale Celebrates VE Day
DESCRIPTION:Lunesdale Hall Committee have organised two events to help Kirkby Lonsdale celebrate VE Day. \nOn Thursday\, 8 May a Beacon will be lit on the playfield at 9pm. There will be food\, drink and music available (courtesy of Little Barn). The festivities start at 8pm.On Saturday\, 10 May there will be afternoon tea and the premiere of the new film by local filmmaker John Hamlett\, “Remembering Kirkby in Wartime“. \nThis is a free event\, however booking is required. Please call Pat France on 015242 71740 or 07887 940442. \nFilming memoirs is John’s speciality and a passion. He graduated in documentary arts in 1996\, where his degree projects focused on personal histories – the sort of stories people tell\, rather than the sort historians write. Since then he’s spent over 25 years creating digital media and video (www.lunar.co.uk). He has worked on film commissions all over the UK including heritage work for The National Trust and The Yorkshire Festival of Story as well as projects funded by Historic England\, The Lottery Heritage Fund and Yorkshire Dales National Park. I’ve also made short films like The POW that have screened at film festivals from Keswick & Konstanz to Bucharest & Barrie\, winning awards in the UK\, Russia and Canada. \nJohn was responsible for the “Remembering Kirkby Lonsdale” project a few years ago which captures stories of this small market town in the 1930s & ’40s\, as remembered by eight of the town’s oldest residents. Public screenings have entertained hundreds and helped raise thousands for local charities. Together these two films paint a vivid\, humbling and entertaining picture of what life was like before the postwar world changed things forever.
