DUCK DERBY
On Sunday, 15 June 2025, Maidenhead Lions will be at Ray Mill Island at Boulter’s Lock, courtesy of RBWM, to put on our annual Family Fun Day and Duck Race. That day is Father’s Day, so bring along all the family and friends to celebrate with Dad. The first prize for the duck that crosses the line first is £250. This year the event will start at midday. Food and drink will be available to purchase all day, so why not make a day of it and come along for lunch?
This event promises attractions for all ages, including craft and charity stalls, games of skill and chance, and a children’s duck hunt with prizes for various age groups. Younger children can enjoy a mini roundabout.
The Lions stalls will feature a new human fruit machine, pick-a-duck, cuddly toy stall, roll-a-ball, tombola, skittles, and hoopla.
Returning entertainers include Nick the balloon man, face painting, monkey music, and moo music. Attendees can also take free pictures with Daisy and Donald Duck.
The event concludes at 4:30 PM with the Duck Race, where 2000 plastic ducks will be released on the River Thames by the Sea Cadets to draw a raffle. Prizes include £250 for first place, £100 for second place, and £50 for third place.
Entry to the venue is free
