Friends of Chappel School and The Swan Inn present the 2025 Chappel Duck Race!
Come and cheer on your favourite as 650 (plastic) ducks race down the River Colne under the iconic Chappel Viaduct.
Enjoy an afternoon of fun watching from the pub garden and the adjacent play park as the ducks compete in four races, and be in with a chance of victory by sponsoring a duck for just £2.50.
With a BBQ, bar, bouncy castle and more to get involved with, join us for what promises to be a quacking afternoon!
