Sponsored ducks are launched from Mansbridge at 2.30pm on Summer Bank Holiday, which is on Monday (Aug 26), but "arrive early and make a day of it" is the word from Solent Lions, who raise cash for good causes and will be selling tickets from around 11.30am. You can also try to guess the time of the Fastest Duck, Guess the Name of the Duck, and enjoy children's games, a teddy tombola and more… "Parking is limited and it gets very busy! PLEASE PARK RESPONSIBLY," urge the Lions. Click for our picture gallery from last year.
