| ITV has returned to Grosvenor Road to use one of our plots to film a new story line for Coronation Street. | '''Saturday 1 July 2023''' |
| Line 9: | Line 14: |
| Filming has already taken place on and around a plot at the Glebeland Road end of our site and transmission is scheduled for Monday 26th September, with two scenes in the first programme and one in the second. | The theme for year’s scarecrow competition will be Royalty which is a very wide brief so let your imagination run wild from King Canute to Queen Nefertiti or maybe the King of the Jungle. Be creative in any way you feel inspired to be, there are prizes to be won! |
| Line 11: | Line 17: |
| Further filming is planned - filming dates and times will be given below as we are advised of them. So as not to interrupt continuity of filming, access to the site through the Glebelands Road entrance will be restricted during filming sessions, but the two entrances on Grosvenor Road will be open as usual. |
Scarecrows are to be erected by '''Friday 30 June'''. Judging will be carried out by the same independent judge as last year and will take place on Saturday 1 July. As we did last year, prizes will be awarded the following weekend at the Allotment Picnic See below. |
