The event returns for its eighth year on Sunday, August 25 at the Ribs of Beef pub as ducks race from St George's Bridge, by the Norwich Playhouse, to Fye Bridge in aid of Break Charity.

The fun starts from 12pm with a parade of painted ducks and The Lord Mayor or Sheriff of Norwich will open proceedings on St George's Bridge.

The first race of the day sees 3,000 little ducks take to the water, with voucher and hotel stays up for grabs, at 2pm followed by the main large painted duck race at 2.30pm.

Over 100 ducks are expected to take part, created by local community groups and businesses, and ahead of the event a tweet-up was held at the Ribs of Beef to see all the weird and wonderful designs.

This year's impressive creations included Moby Duck the whale, James Pond, Beatrix Potter character Jemima Puddle-Duck, a flamingo and Iron Man who are all hoping to follow in the footsteps of last year's winner Inspired Duckaroo, sponsored by Inspired Youth.

Sally Adams, from Kirby Bedon, who is also known as 'the duckarator' said: "I work on the Wild in Art Trails who are behind the GoGo Hares and I am also commissioned to create the ducks and I have now done over 50 and have had two winners.

"Something that adds a sail helps - the Black Swan duck that won two years ago had a huge tail made out of net which caught the wind."

Once the race is over, the decorated ducks will be auctioned off at the Maid's Head Hotel at a special event on Thursday, September 5.

Sarah Bunn, fundraising events manager at Break Charity, said: "Every single year I am blown away by the different creations and the ducks are turned into pretty much any character you can think of and I'm hoping a Boris Johnson will turn up this year.

"People love it and put their date in the diary every single year - it is the thing to do on August bank holiday and a crazy, really fun free event."
