The Straw Jack is a harvest custom which sees a procession with a straw figure head through Carshalton accompanied by some traditional dress and music. The event ends with the burning of the Straw Jack later in the evening.
The procession takes in quite a few of the local pubs, beginning at The Duke’s Head, then at around 7.30pm the Straw Jack is set alight in Hope Garden.
