This year's Ulverston scarecrows are bidding a 'farewell' to the town after they were pictured waiting 'to be collected' by their makers.

Dozens of amazing scarecrows were created for this year's Scarecrow Festival held in Ulverston Park.

The event ran from Tuesday, March 26 and ended on Monday, April 8.
