Head to Gostrey Meadow for a brilliant day out as hundreds of yellow ducks take to the River Wey in a series of exciting races. With heats and a grand final, there are plenty of chances to cheer your duck on to victory.

This popular community event is organised by Farnham Weyside Rotary Club, with all proceeds going to local charities, making it a fun day out for a great cause.
