Join us for the annual AIA Duck Race when we launch 1,000 yellae deuks into the Dreel Burn and cheer them on as they race to the finish line! The Duck Race will take place on Saturday 4th April 2026 at 10:30am on the Dreel Burn.

The ducks are now available for you to sponsor at shops in town (look out for a duck in the window) for £2.

Weather permitting, prize giving will be from the terrace at the back of Dreel Halls. Brilliant prizes to be won – you’d have to be quackers to miss it!

And don’t forget to make an Easter bonnet and enter our bonnet competition (child and adult contest). This year the Easter bonnet competition will take place just before the duck race prizes are given out, on the Dreel Halls terrace.

Entry forms for the Design A Duck competition are available here and, unless stated, from 2nd March in the following locations: Dreel Halls, Waid Community Campus Library and Bowhouse Food Market (March 14 & 15).

All funds raised from the race go to the AIA for Anster Community Development Project and the upkeep of the halls.
