CHILDREN looking for some half-term fun are invited to seek out scarecrows from film and TV this week.

The colourful characters will be appearing this week at Tatton Park for the property's scarecrow festival.

"Are you looking to entertain the children this February half term?" said a park spokesman.

"Join us in the Tatton Park gardens and search out the scarecrows residing there.

"There will be scarecrows from film and TV as well as the resident scarecrows - how many will you find hidden away in the most intriguing of places?"

Normal admission prices apply. The gardens are open from 10am to 4pm, and the festival runs until Sunday.
