Holmfirth Duck Race Proudly organised by Huddersfield Round Table

Sunday 5th July 2026. It's the answer to life - it will be number 42 ! 🦆🦆🦆

The Holmfirth Duck Race is a charity event involving the pouring of many, many, MANY plastic ducks (not real ones, we need to stress this!) into the river in the Town centre, and then they float down the river to the finishing bridge alongside the Sands recreation ground in sunny Holmfirth. Money raised goes to local charities and good causes in your area. We always host on the first Sunday in July along with a fair, food, and outdoor bar and plenty of fun and games to keep the young and young at heart entertained for hours. Come on over, enjoy the great British summertime and give us a quack!

The feedback we’ve received from the Holmfirth Duck Race has been truly amazing, and we’re so grateful for all your kind words. It means so much to hear that our stalls and vendors had such a wonderful day and that SO MANY people came along to enjoy it.

For us, events like this are about so much more than just a day out. They’re about bringing the community together, creating special memories, and giving families and friends a fun, relaxed day to enjoy. We love being able to support local causes, champion local businesses, and create an atmosphere where everyone comes together, supports one another, and enjoys being part of something special.

Days like the Holmfirth Duck Race remind us exactly why we do what we do — for the community, for the local businesses, and for the joy of seeing people come together and have a truly great day out.
Thank you all so very much for supporting this event. Keep an eye out for our next event.
