The family fun day was held at The Waterfront in Brierley Hill and saw hundreds of people turn out and race a duck.
The big duck race, activities, entertainment and food were in aid of Stourbridge-based Mary Stevens Hospice, and was hosted in partnership with Digbeth Dining Club and Bailey's Tackle Shop.

Activities kicked off at 12pm and the much-anticipated race at 3pm – the rubber ducks were able to be bought for £3 each on the day prior to the race. The owner of the first duck across the finish line scooped the £100 prize.

In recent years, the expanding race moved to the Waterfront due to its growing popularity having previously been held at the Delph Locks.
