Where is it?


Throughout the villages of Gatcombe and Chillerton

Which Way? There will be signposts throughout the parish, to point you in the right direction, however, a suggested starting point would be Cox’s Corner PO30 3EE on your sat nav, then turn up Rectory Lane, towards Gatcombe. Then back down onto the main Newport to Chillerton Road, turn right and head for Chillerton.

It’s FREE! Yes, the best part is that it is totally free, so come along and bring all the family, and spend an hour or two enjoying the spectacle.

Scarecrows at Seaview Wildlife!

Sally, manager of the Seaview Wildlife gift shop, has just finished putting together our rather splendid Keeper Scarecrow – he/she/it is now ready to be wheeled down to take part in the Gatcombe & Chillerton Scarecrow Festival this weekend! (Starts midday Saturday 28th May until Saturday evening 4th June).

The Gatcombe & Chillerton Scarecrow Festival won a gold award last year in last year’s Beautiful South Tourism Awards – so why not go and join in the fun – they’re expecting lots of ‘Gallybaggers’ of all types, shapes and sizes to be on display in the village gardens and on the village green!
