Join us for two wonderful days of family fun at the annual Willsbridge Mill Duck Race on Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th April 2026.
Across the weekend we’ll be hosting two races each day at 11:30am and 1:30pm, with 200 bright yellow ducks in every race. Each duck is numbered and released into the brook at the same time — and it’s a race to the finish! Simply purchase your duck online, come along on the day and cheer it downstream.
Whether you’re hoping for glory or just enjoying the atmosphere, it’s always an exciting (and slightly unpredictable!) spectacle as the ducks bob their way to the finish line.
We’re aiming to make 2026 our biggest and best Duck Race yet, with more atmosphere, more activities and more reasons to stay all day!
But the Duck Race is more than just the water…
Make a full day of it with:
Small business and local maker stalls
Children’s crafting activities
Face paints and body glitter
Sweet treats and refreshments
Visiting food trucks
BBQ favourites
Delicious food, cakes and drinks from the Mill Café
Set in the beautiful surroundings of Willsbridge Mill, it’s the perfect springtime event for families, friends and the local community. Bring the children, bring the grandparents, bring the dog — and don’t forget to pick your lucky duck!
We can’t wait to see you by the brook. 🦆🌿
