Soapbox Derby

Things are well and truly underway for the 2023 Farndon Soapbox Derby which takes place on Sunday 17th of September. The organising committee, made up of local community volunteers from Farndon, Holt and further afield, together with the fundraising team at the Hospice of the Good Shepherd, have been working extremely hard behind the scenes. We are pleased to say that with over 32 Racing Kart Teams have now signed up, and it promises be another thrilling fun-packed day for all the family.

However, it’s not too late to join in, even though places are now strictly limited to first-come-first-served! So if you’d like to enter a Racing Kart Team, simply get in touch with us: getinvolved@farndonsoapboxderby.co.uk

Last year’s phenomenal event saw more than 4,000 people from all over Cheshire and North Wales come along to support this incredible fundraising extravaganza that raised over £26,000 for our chosen charity. At the end of the day, prizes and medals were handed out to the winning teams by, none other than British sporting champion, Hollywood star and Olympic Legend, Eddie the Eagle! We hope to have similar celebrity support this year to add even more stardust to our event.

With such a huge focus on our villages, local businesses are urged, once again, to get behind the event and support this year’s Farndon Soapbox Derby.

You can do this by either becoming a sponsor, or giving up your time to help steward the event. We also need local businesses to supply resources and donate prizes. Every little helps, and no offer of support is too small! If you would like to be a part of this fabulous day, please contact: getinvolved@farndonsoapboxderby, or visit our website to find out more about our sponsorship packages: www.farndonsoapboxderby.co.uk Facebook: @farndonsoapboxderby
