Doddie Duck Race in aid of My Name'5 Doddie Foundation
Keep the springtime fun going at Dalkeith Country Park on Sunday 05 May. Watch as your trusty quacker races down the river Esk. Whose duck will be the first to reach the bridge and win a quacking prize?
And it’s not just ducks! You’ll find tasty treats from local food vendors, refreshing Cold Town beer, face painting, live music and a prize-tastic raffle. Oh and did we forget to mention that the iconic Doddie tractor will be joining us for the day! Climb aboard for fun family photo opps.
