Get ready for a quacking good day at Alton Community Centre as the Duck Race returns with plenty of family-friendly fun!

Alton Duck Race & Mallards Market

• Dates: Sunday 7th June 2026
• Times: 10am - 2pm | Race starts at 1.30pm
• Location: Alton Community Centre & Cut Pound, Alton
• Price: £5 per duck entry | Free entry to attend

Head down to Alton Community Centre to take part in the Duck Race and cheer your duck along the course as it races to the finish line at Cut Pound.

Before the big race, browse the brilliant ‘Mallards Market’ featuring a variety of craft, gift and local produce stalls, perfect for a relaxed wander while supporting local makers.

There’s plenty for little ones too, with FREE children’s craft and colouring activities running throughout the day.

Want to make your duck stand out? Join one of the ‘decorate your duck’ sessions in advance of race day, or decorate your duck on the day itself. You can also pop into the Community Centre ahead of the event (Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm, Saturday 9am – midday) to buy and decorate your duck at reception.

There are prizes up for grabs for both the winning duck and the best decorated duck, so get creative!

The team will also be at the Alton Lions ‘Party in the Park’ on Saturday 6th June if you want to get involved early.
