Wombling around Bromyard
8:00am Friday 9th May 2008
WIMBLEDON’S most famous residents are to mingle with film stars in Bromyard this summer.
The Wombles will be at this year’s Community Festival, taking place from June 6 to 8.
The recycling pioneers are guests of honour at the event, which incorporates a craft fair and scarecrow festival.
The fun kicks off on Friday night with a parade featuring more than 50 scarecrows, all depicting a film title.
They’ll be seen around the town on Saturday and Sunday, and there’s a £50 prize for the person who identifies the most.
The fun continues on Sunday with a duck race along the River Frome. More than 1,000 ducks could take to the water.
For more information, call Bromyard Town Council on 01885 482825.
