People are invited to take part in a trail around Charney Bassett to find out how many of the straw-filled men have taken root in the village's gardens.

The forms must be handed in at Charney Bassett's village fete on July 13 for the chance to win a prize.

The event, which takes place in the grounds of Charney Manor from 2pm to 4pm, will include stalls, a grand draw and performances by Queen Emma's Morris Dancers.
