Trio Sospiroso: Music for a Summer’s Evening
Clare Mellor (flute), Jenny Broome (harp) and Lucinda Wright (cello) perform a delightful selection of well-loved classics.

Sorry but the weather and river conditions are so unpredictable at the moment that it is not possible to predict when the race could be run.
We are hoping to run a race in 2024 but this will be a new event.
If you purchased sponsorship of a duck/s you will receive a refund.
