RESIDENTS and community groups in Bewdley have gone quackers once again for an imaginative arts project.

Dozens of decorated duck houses have gone on display in Jubilee Gardens until the end of October with people being encouraged to enjoy the exhibition and vote on their favourites.

This is the third time The Duck House Project, which forms part of the annual Bewdley Festival, has been held in the town.

In 2016, when the trail was last held, more than 6,000 visitors to Bewdley viewed them while they were on show.

There is a new design to this year’s duck houses and have been made by people with learning disabilities at the Emily Jordan Foundation. The full £50 cost of each one goes to the foundation.

Colin Hill, project co-ordinator for the Festival, said: “After weeks of working away hidden in sheds and garages, the new designs of this year’s Duck House are revealed.

“The Duck House project is a community visual art initiative by Bewdley Festival and has been made possible by grants from the Wyre Forest District Localism Fund and Bewdley Town Council.

“Bewdley Festival are also grateful to the trainees at Brintons Park Woodworks division of the Emily Jordan Foundation.”

Mr Hill added: “The Duck Houses can be seen in the Jubilee Gardens Bewdley until the end of the month. There are 36 Duck Houses on display and people are invited to vote for their favourite. The ballot papers are available in the Saw Yard of Bewdley Museum.”
