There's a scarecrow festival on in Laois and some of the creations are class

Slightly terrifying, too.

EVERY YEAR, THE town of Durrow in Laois holds an actual scarecrow festival – where people make their own effigies for the craic.

It’s now in its seventh year, and began again over the weekend.

Imagine strolling past these characters on a casual Sunday afternoon

Everywhere you turn, there seems to be some scarecrow activity
