Quack, Quack - Just 1 Day left before the Ducks are back - Hebden Bridge Duck Race - Easter Monday 6 April 26 @ 3pm (Fun starts at 12 noon)!

Parking can be a problem in Hebden Bridge on Duck Race Day. So for those who can’t walk there or use the limited public transport and have to drive, we’ve opened up the old Walkley’s Clogs Car Park, midway between Mytholmroyd & Hebden Bridge - look out for the yellow signs! (See photo)

Staffed by Mytholmroyd Scouts who would appreciate a donation, the path leads to the Railway Station and from there it’s a short walk across Calder Holmes Park to the Town Centre.

Apologies but the expected high winds have meant the Rotary Club of Hebden Bridge duck ticket stall will not be St George’s Square, Hebden Bridge today but will be back from 1000 tomorrow!

Tickets however are on sale now from the website
www.hebdenbridgeduckrace.uk.

As usual there will be 2 races - the Business Duck Race at 3pm where larger red, green, yellow and blue ducks on sale at £10 each race for prizes totalling £800 and the main race at 3.15pm, when the little yellow ducks costing £1 each, race each other down Hebden Water for the chance to win a £500 holiday voucher and cash prizes totalling £650.

On St Pols car park on Bridge Gate, we’ve got our usual small funfair, with plenty of rides to keep the younger ones amused.

The normal Sunday Market will be in full swing, plus lots of additional charity and gift stalls and food and drink outlets.

Performing from the island in the river will be 2 of the funniest people in the valley, keeping the crowds entertained throughout the afternoon!

Lots to see, lots to do for all the family, plus of course the 2 duck races!
