PEOPLE who love both weddings and live theatre might be in luck.

Malvern Theatres is promising "the best wedding ever, the best wedding yet; the wedding that no one will ever forget", and it will be scarecrows tying the knot.

A spokesman said: "Straight from London’s West End, this truly heart-warming adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s bestselling book is bursting at the seams with Scamp Theatre’s inimitable style and promises wit, drama, and wedding bells.

"You’re invited to Betty O’Barley and Harry O’Hay’s glorious wedding day."

The spokesman added: "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 and 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?"

Director Eva Sampson comments, “I’m delighted that The Scarecrows’ Wedding will be heading out on tour again this year. It’s a great opportunity to bring the show to new audiences and share Harry and Betty’s epic love story!”

The Scarecrows’ Wedding, suitable for families and youngsters aged three and above, will be on stage at Malvern Theatres from Wednesday July 19 to Saturday July 22.
