Quacky Races - Sat 13 September, 11am-3pm
The legendary Morden Hall Park Quacky Races return this autumn.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Pick your plastic duck, give it a name, set it afloat, and watch it glide downstream in this thrilling Morden Hall Park tradition. Whether your duck is a speedy sprinter or a laid-back floater, it’s all part of the fun.
Join us as we mark the end of summer and welcome the start of autumn with some friendly competition and riverside cheer.
To enter:
Simply borrow a plastic duck*, remember its colour and number and head over to the white bridge. Then drop it in with your fellow duck racers and cheer it on as it paddles toward glory.
£2.50 per entry - all proceeds go toward caring for Morden Hall Park.
*Please note: Ducks will be washed with disinfectant before each time they are handled.
