The countdown has begun! One of the most beloved family events in the Black Country is floating back into town — and it’s bigger, better, and quackier than ever. Mark your calendars and grab your ducks — the Black Country Duck Race & Family Festival 2025 is just around the corner!
What’s It All About?
Each year, The Waterfront at Brierley Hill transforms into a buzzing hub of fun, laughter, and a whole lot of yellow rubber ducks. Thousands gather to support a fantastic cause — Mary Stevens Hospice — by purchasing a rubber duck for just £3. These plucky little racers are then launched into the canal, all competing for a £100 cash prize and eternal glory!
Fun for the Whole Family
It’s not just about the race — the entire day is packed with food, stalls, games, and live entertainment. From tasty treats to exciting activities for kids, the Duck Race Festival promises a wholesome, fun-filled day out for families, friends, and supporters of the hospice.
Expect:
🦆 Duck-themed goodies
🎶 Live music and performers
🍔 Delicious local food stalls
🎯 Family games and activities
🎈 Face painting, crafts & more
Whether you’re there to cheer on your duck or just soak up the festival atmosphere, there’s something for everyone.
Why Mary Stevens Hospice?
