Join us for a long weekend of celebrations as we commemorate Her Majesty’s 70 year reign.
All week – Scarecrow Trail and Make Your Own Bunting
Why not get into the festive spirit by decorating your homes and gardens for the Jubilee.
Why not mark the Jubilee with a Royal scarecrow. Join the scarecrow trail by snapping a picture of your Jubilee themed scarecrow and send into us by PMing the Love Congresbury Facebook page or email them to kirsty.bowles@newcretionchurches.org.uk There are so many ideas for Jubilee scarecrows – Corgis, Beefeaters, Will and Kate or Her Majesty herself. Have fun and be creative! You can also download our printable DIY bunting and other decorations to make your home into a Palace fit for a Queen!
