A WHOLE host of wacky and imaginative creations were on display at this year's Brading Scarecrow Festival.

With as many as 39 entries submitted, and trail maps to locate individual scarecrows and stallholders selling their wares, the festival was well supported by Brading residents.

The 5th iteration, and the first ‘Brading Sale Trail’ organised by Brading Residents Association, has been hailed a success by organisers and residents alike.

Bank Holiday weekend saw visitors from all parts of the Island descend upon Brading to follow the free trail maps.

Prizes for the winners were made up of donations from a number of Island organisations and businesses, including Adgestone Vineyard, Brothers Fish and Chips, Brading Residents Association and Asda.
