Wray Scarecrow Festival returned to the village near Lancaster this year and concludes next Monday (May 6) with the traditional May fair and Great Ball Race.
Villagers have risen to the ‘sci-fi’ theme of this year’s event with impressive scarecrows adorning the streets.
Our photographer Dan Martino went along and captured these pictures of their wonderful creations.
