Join Cosmic at 12pm on Thursday 31st July 2025 at Merchant Square, Paddington Basin for the annual Cosmic Rubber Duck Race!

Sponsor a rubber duck for £3.00 and be in with the chance of winning some great prizes!

We’ll be launching over 2,000 sponsored rubber ducks into the Merchant Square Canal on Thursday 31st July! They’ll race to the finish line, and if your duck finishes in one of the top spots you’ll win one of the amazing prizes available.

Join us from 11am for face painting, music, and to discover more of what Merchant Square has to offer!

But there’s more! Why not stick around for our Dragon Boat Race which will commence at 5pm and watch the 22 teams battle it out on the water!

Both events are free to attend and are in partnership with Merchant Square, who help raise funds for Cosmic from both events. All funds raised will go towards the ongoing work Cosmic does supporting babies and children in intensive care, their families, and the dedicated team of NHS staff who care for them at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington and Queen Charlotte’s Hospital, Hammersmith.

We can’t wait to see you there!
