Wilberfoss Duck Race

20/05/2026

Thank you so much to all who volunteered to help make the Duck Race a success on Sunday!

From pre-event preparations, to support with promo, to ticket selling, to those helping set-up and clear-down the site, to the Scouts keeping the place litter-free, to those helping out as marshals, to the stall holders and to the duck chaser, catcher and runners! Plus many others offering a helping hand.

This year really did feel like a full community event. THANK YOU! 💛

We'll be selling duck tickets outside the pub on Saturday 16th May, 10am - 2pm. Pop down and make sure you've got some, as leaving it until the day is risky! (We sold out fast last year). Even if you can't make the event on Sunday 17th May, buying tickets is supporting the village beneficiaries (and we'll let you know if you win!)

You can also order online and collect on Sunday from the event/ticket tent.
Order online: https://forms.gle/2AAxgUN9QBKM28YG9

Hope you're getting excited!? And whatever the weather, it's always great weather for ducks! 🦆 🦆 🦆
