Scarecrow Festival

23rd - 31st October

Come along and discover a little piece of Alvechurch Baptist Church history as part of this year’s Village Scarecrow Festival!

​

Our very own ABC scarecrow tells the remarkable story of a 17th-century Alvechurch Baptist who was put in the pillory after arguing with the rector over infant baptism and yes, it really happened!

​

Plus...Explore ABC Through the Years

​

During weekdays, the church will be open from 10.00am–2.00pm, offering a fascinating exhibition featuring more than 300 photographs celebrating the life of Alvechurch Baptist Church, past and present.

​

Alongside the photographs, you’ll find a selection of intriguing archive material, bringing the story of our church and its people to life.

​

On the Saturday, the church will stay open until 4.00pm, with even more to enjoy:

  • Have a go at sponge throwing at Joey in the pillory!

  • Take part in our children’s colouring competition.

  • Explore our fascinating collection of photographs and archive material.

  • And, of course, come and meet our rather unfortunate 17th-century Baptist scarecrow!​

Whether you’re interested in local history, church life, or simply looking for some fun during the festival, we’d love to welcome you to Alvechurch Baptist Church.
