    Knaresborough will host a scarecrow trail from this weekend in a fun scheme to attract more people to the town.

    From Saturday, Ye Older Chymist Shoppe will sell maps for £3 revealing the locations of 18 scarecrows.

    Anyone who finds them and fills in a form on the map will then be entered for a £50 prize draw.

    Children hunting for scarecrows last year.



    Knaresborough Business Collective, which represents independent traders in the town, has organised the initiative to boost trade in the pre-Christmas period. It will run until November 5.

    Natalie Horner, co-founder of the collective, said:

    "We try to do things when it's quiet and there is less going on. We thought this would bring people into town and provide a cheap activity to do."


    This is the second year the scarecrow trail has been held. Last year saw 444 maps sold and raised almost £2,000.
