The family fun day was held at The Waterfront in Brierley Hill and saw hundreds of people turn out and race a duck.

The big duck race, activities, entertainment and food were in aid of Stourbridge-based Mary Stevens Hospice, and was hosted in partnership with Digbeth Dining Club and Bailey's Tackle Shop.
