Scamp Theatre return to Exeter Northcott following their sell-out, five star show Stick Man with a heart-warming stage adaptation of Julia Donaldson's and Axel Scheffler's hotly anticipated new book The Scarecrows' Wedding.

The show is currently playing at the Edinburgh Festival where its opened to sell-out houses and rave reviews from adults and children alike!

Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay are excellent scarecrows (they scare a lot of crows).  Harry loves Betty, and Betty loves Harry - so they decide to get married.  Harry sets off to search for their wedding day essentials including a dress of feathers, a bunch of flowers and a necklace made from shells.
     
However, when the farmer notices he is missing a scarecrow, he replaces Harry with the devilishly smooth but dangerous Reginald Rake.  Dashing, daring and ever so cool, can Reginald persuade Betty that he is the scarecrow for her? Will Harry make it back in the nick of time before Reginald ruins their special day?

Bursting at the seams with Scamp Theatre's inimitable style, this epic love story promises wit, drama and wedding bells!
