Ay Up Me Duck...
...Get ready for a right good waddle! The Ay Up Me Duck Trail is landing in Alfreton, Belper, Heanor and Ripley early 2026 and you’re invited to join the fun.
Each town will have two big selfie-ready duck sculptures decorated by local artists to find, plus a bunch of cheeky little ducks hiding in shop windows.
Tackle one town or waddle your way through all four. It’s a cracking way to explore Amber Valley and support your local high street. You’ll be able to pick up a printed map to guide you along the way. Exact locations are still being finalised, so stay tuned for more details soon...
