Durrow Scarecrow Festival

Durrow Welcomes You

The festival that’s outstanding in its field, the Durrow Scarecrow Festival, is back for a 9th year from July 29th to August 6th 2018. Scarecrows all over Ireland and beyond are licking their lips in anticipation for what has become one of the most popular festivals in the country.

We can’t wait and once again, we welcome you all to Durrow to enjoy with us, a week of uninhibited imagination, creativity, music, food and fun and above all else the scarecrows who turn up with your laughter in mind. The festival can only happen with the help and support of our sponsors and volunteers and as always we would like to thank them for everything they do. Take a bow!

Hay Fever takes over Durrow

Hay Fever is taking over the picturesque village of Durrow in Co Laois with a scarecrow festival to beat them all. The beating heart of this great event is the Scarecrow Village with something for everyone and the Ranch where you can catch the Round Bale entries and everything vintage. All the info is here - We hope you enjoy!
