'We’re so excited to bring the event back,' hospice bosses say ahead of popular duck race in Brierley Hill
A Stourbridge charity set to host another of its popular fundraising events this weekend.
The Black Country Duck Race and Family Festival in aid of The Mary Stevens Hospice will take place at The Waterfront, Brierley Hill, on Sunday June 29.
Kicking off at 12pm, the event will feature live music, family entertainment, stalls, and street food from Digbeth Dining Club - with the duck race starting at 3pm.
A £100 cash prize and the Mick Bailey Duck Trophy up for grabs.
James Totney, deputy head of fundraising at the Oldswinford based hospice, said: "We’re so excited to bring the event back after last year’s success.
“It’s a fantastic day out for all the family and helps us raise vital funds so we can continue to support the local community when they need us.”
Sponsored by local businesses Waldrons Solicitors and Prosperity Wealth, the event supports the hospice’s mission to raise £3.5 million annually.
Ducks cost £3 and are available to buy online or at the event (while supplies last).
