Leatherhead Duck Race 2014
Ducks Away! Leatherhead’s Annual Duck Race is this weekend!
Are you looking for something to do that that is fun for all the family? Then why not come along to the annual Leatherhead Duck Race on Sunday 13th July.
For a quacking great afternoon of family fun head to the banks of the River Mole by the town bridge (bottom of Bridge Street), where the action starts at 2pm with 7 tote races (6 heats and a grand final).
You can bet on the duck you think will win and cheer it on to victory! Picking a winning duck can be hard so here are a few tips - choose your favourite colour, pick the name you like best or if in doubt rely on pot luck!
For the very first time the tote races will be followed by a brand new Swan Race, where proceeds from this race will go to the Children’s Trust local charity in Tadworth and one lucky winner could be in the chance of winning a great prize. And not forgetting the mass duck race where hundreds of tiny yellow bath time ducks will take to the water for the grand finale with some fantastic prizes to be won!
To keep your little ones entertained between races there will be a storyteller down by the river. Miniature steam train rides will also be available in nearby Mill Lane, just follow the signs. Refreshments in the form of ice cream and soft drinks will also be on sale by the river. The little yellow bath time ducks for the mass duck race can be sponsored on the day for £1 or in advance on Thursdays and Saturdays in the Swan Centre right up to the event. Ducks are also available from the Help Shop and Barton’s Bookshop.
For a quacking good time come to Leatherhead and enjoy some quacky races!
