Back by popular demand, Bangkok Lounge Shefford, the award-winning fine Thai dining restaurant, is hosting Shefford’s 20th Annual Duck Race, taking place on Sunday 1 July 2018 from 12.00 noon to 4.00 pm.
The family fun event, which will feature Thai cuisine and drinks provided by Bangkok will include an entertaining afternoon of racing ducks down the river. There will also be stalls, a bouncy castle, face painting and a raffle, provided by main sponsor Country Properties. The fun-packed event will raise funds for Acorn Pre-School and the Mighty Oaks school club.
Looking ahead to the event, Motin Miah, owner and general manager at Bangkok Lounge, said: “We’re delighted to host the event again this year, especially as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Duck Race. We pride ourselves on working closely with the community and love to give something back. It’s a hugely enjoyable day for all the family and we encourage local residents to join us.”
Acorn Pre-School is the only community pre-school in Shefford and, as a charity, relies heavily on funds raised at events such as the Duck Race. The Mighty Oaks is the breakfast and after-school club for children who attend the pre-school and pupils at Shefford Lower School.
Jacqui Lewis, Chairperson and Trustee at Acorn Pre-School and the Mighty Oaks, said: “Duck Race fever is in full swing, we are preparing for our 20th Anniversary Duck Race to be held on the 1 July in the grounds of the Bangkok Lounge. The event is always a fantastic day and is supported incredibly well by the community of Shefford. We are once again looking forward to working with Motin and the team from the Bangkok Lounge to make this year's event better than ever.”
