Shropshire ducks set for auction

The sculptures were designed as part of an arts trail in the Telford area this Summer.

Ten huge ducks, and seven small replicas, are being auctioned off for charity on Monday night, in aid of the Severn Hospice and Jayne Sergent Foundation.

The auction will take place at Charlton School Sports Hall in Wellington, Telford on 3rd September at 7:30pm.

Guests are invited to enjoy fizz, cupcakes, photos and a raffle throughout the evening.

The initial idea was developed by Julie Ward, who was awarded a grant from Telford & Wrekin Council's Pride in Your High Street Fund.

Julie Ward, Organiser of the arts trail said: "One of the things from the very beginning was 'just smile' and I can sit here, hand on heart and say that was definitely the case."

The giant ducks were initially displayed in Ironbridge then moved to Southwater, Telford to celebrate Telford's 50th birthday.
