Duck race returns to WWT Martin Mere
There is still time to come and enter your very own duck into the annual Duck Race at WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre this April. If you have not yet painted a duck to take part in our annual Duck Race on the 19th April you can still come down to the centre to paint, personalise and design your own duck in order to enter it into the race. Ducks can be painted at the centre between 1pm to 4pm every day until the race for just £2.50, or you can buy unpainted ducks to enter the race for just £2.00 each.
Nick Brooks, Centre Manager at WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre said: “We are delighted that the duck race is taking place at Martin Mere once again this year, last year was an incredible event for the centre and we hope that this year will be even better.”
He added: “Last year there was nearly 200 ducks taking part in the race with a great variety of colours and designs on show, with more colour on show than the Grand National.”
“There was so much drama in last year’s event with one duck streaming into the lead, only to drift into a ditch and trapping five others allowing a duck to sail into an uncatchable lead.”
