Wray Village Scarecrow Festival and Wray Fair 2010 Themes for this year's festival - 24 April 2010 - Monday 3rd May 2010: Detectives, crime or cluedo (the game) Reality T.V. (take your pick) Topical (the election, world cup etc) Traditional Moving scarecrows A number of beautiful old buildings survive in Wray that were built in the 17th and 18th centuries, these can be identified by the datestones set into their frontages. Wray is a small settlement, which in the 19th century was a centre of hat, nail and bobbin production. Today it is an attractive village with an interesting tradition - the Wray Scarecrow festival. This highly successful festival takes place over a week, culminating in a Village Fair on May Bank holiday. A large number of elaborate and often topical scarecrows are made by the local community and prizes are awarded to the best ones. Some locals often create their annual scarecrows in great secrecy, and only display these for pubic view at the last minute as the competition is taken very seriously. The Village boasts a Post Office and General Store, 2 Pubs, The George and Dragon on Main Street and the Inn at Wray on Hornby Road, a new Cafe at Bridge House Farm, which becomes the 'Bistro' on an evening and of course the beautiful scenery and walks which surround the Village.
