Almond Valley duck race back for Easter!

20 Apr 2026|
News

At 2pm every day of the Easter weekend – come rain or shine – hundreds of ducks battled for victory in our hotly-contested annual competition.

Families picked their ducks and sent them off for the fast-paced river race tradition which marks the beginning of spring here, with the winners each getting an Easter egg and a place in Almond Valley history.

Thank you to everyone who joined us over the Easter holidays for adventures, heritage and play! We’ve had an amazing time with our community, and huge congratulations to all the duck race winners!

A crowd is gathered on the river banks throwing rubber ducks into the river at the start of Almond Valley's annual duck race.
