After last year’s highly successful Duck Race, members of Lindfield Bonfire Society (LBS) will be doing it all over again in 2022!

The Society is giving the public the opportunity to ‘buy’ a duck in one of the races, which will be broadcast on YouTube on Saturday 2nd July. There will be three races and ducks are available for sale online in the LBS shop.

Because it’s Jubilee year, the third race – The Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Stakes – will see 18 celebrity ducks battling it out to be crowned King or Queen of the race. Stewart Rose, Press Secretary of LBS said: “The first duck race, held and broadcast last year, was such a success that it has already become an embedded part of our fundraising calendar. All of the proceeds from the duck race go towards our ever-popular Bonfire Night celebrations on 5th November.”

Ducks in races 1 and 2 cost £3, with the special Jubilee race ducks costing £10. Cash prizes of £15, £10 and £5 will be awarded for first, second and third placed ducks in races 1 and 2, with prizes of £25, £20, and £15 for the top three ducks in the Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Stakes.

For your chance to own a duck and win a prize, either go to the LBS website www.lindfieldbonfiresociety.co.uk/shop or follow the links from our social media channels.
