THE coronation of King Charles III has inspired a fun-filled Scarecrow Festival.
A fascinating selection of famous royal faces and TV celebrities have been brought back to life at Tatton Park.
And all the figures have been made out of straw.
This popular event runs through half term from Saturday, February 11 to Sunday, February 26.
Tatton Park’s education team, along with garden and farm volunteers have worked hard to build more than 50 scarecrows.
Head gardener Simon Tetlow said: “It’s been a real team effort this year to bring these royal characters to life.
“Starting again was a daunting task but we know that the annual scarecrow festival is a big hit for families at half term.
“It’s a chance to get the kids outdoors for some fresh air and fun.”
Children will be able to see kings and queens amongst the backdrop of the winter gardens and farmyard animals.
Set in the tropical fernery, visitors can spot ‘Queen of the Jungle’ Jill Scott.
King Charles and the nation’s royal bear, as well as the Lion King, will be at the farm.
The annual festival usually recycles straw and clothing from the previous year.
Sadly, last year’s scarecrows were destroyed by severe storms including Storm Eunice and Storm Dudley.
Parkland entry and tickets for the gardens and farm can be booked online or on at the admission gates.
Families can save 10 per cent by booking three days in advance.
The festival is open every day except Mondays.
