Bibury Duck Race - Boxing Day

What is it about the English that makes us so unique. Well perhaps it is some of the events that are organised in towns and villages up and down the country that are all rather eccentric. If you've missed the opportunity to run down a hill after a round of cheese but hanker after some outdoor fun this Christmas try this annual event in Bibury. This Boxing Day event takes place in the pretty village of Bibury. The ducks can be sponsored or you can just watch the activities from the banks of the River Coln - there's no charge for watching. The winner selects the charity to receive the proceeds of the days event. There is also usually some mulled wine and mince pies to enjoy whilst soaking up some festive spirit!
