MORE than 300 ducks will race along a Barnoldswick beck during the annual Valley Gardens summer fair on June 25.

The plastic ducks will set off from the bridge near the Gospel Mission church at 2.30pm.

Between 10am and 12.30pm tomorrow people will be able to select a duck from the pool in Barnoldswick Town Square for £1.

The summer fair has been organised by the Valley Gardens Working Group, in conjunction with Pendle Council.

It will run from noon till 3pm at Valley Gardens, off Gisburn Road.

The event will have many other attractions suitable for the whole family, from an owl display to a magic show.

And there will be a children’s fancy dress competition too.

Councillor Jonathan Eyre, who represents parks and leisure, said: “This annual event in Valley Gardens is a wonderful showcase for this Green Flag park.

“And it is a credit to the working group who work very hard voluntarily to organise and run the event.”
