Starting on 1st May 2022 we’re pleased to launch our third free to enter ‘Messingham Show Build a Scarecrow’ competition sponsored by Parkway Cinemas.

We’re keen to see individual families and local groups or clubs enter this fun competition to build the best scarecrow. Entries are welcome from all.

Whatever skills and materials you have to hand will be eligible. As long as the end result fulfils the basic criteria of a scarecrow, one that would scare off birds from raiding the crops around Messingham!

The theme is HM Queen’s Platinum Jubilee so your scarecrow should at the very least contain red white and blue. Use your imagination.

Please build and display your scarecrow in your garden ideally showing a sign pointing towards the showground. Be as creative as you like. Once it’s done, please complete the form below and attach a photo of your scarecrow. Also please share it via the Messingham Show Facebook page.

You have until 31 May 2022 to build your scarecrow and enter.

All photos will be displayed in the Event marquee at Messingham Show on Sunday 5th June 2022. Judging will be by the Mayor of North Lincolnshire with the winners announced at 3;15pm after the toast to HM Queen.

The winners will be invited to nominate a charity of their choice to donate their wining amount. 1st - £75, 2nd £50 and 3rd £25.

The top six will be also receive a rosette to keep.
