The Duck Derby takes place on the stream from The Old Mill and through the grounds during the annual The Aldermaston & Wasing Show.

Each Duck Derby race consists of 100 uniquely numbered ducks and the ticket holder of the winning ducks will win £40.

On race day we can have 10 races of 100 ducks: that’s 1,000 individually numbered racing ducks!

The first 10 ducks in each heat are then put aside for the final race so even if you don’t win a heat your duck could still go forward for the final race where the winnings are:

• 1st: £250
• 2nd: £150
• 3rd: £75
