Lincoln to stage soapbox derby event next September
A soapbox derby event comes to Lincoln for the first time next September, and organisers say you could be part of it, not just as a spectator, but out on the track!
It all happens on Sunday 15th September 2024, and is being organised by Krazy Races, which is on the lookout for up to 40 teams to take on the challenge in Lincoln. The event sees a mixture of individual, charity and business teams design, build and then race handcrafted soap boxes in front of up to 20,000 spectators.
The popular soapbox derby event has welcomed over 150,000 visitors and raised over £100,000 for local charities in 2023 alone with events across the country. The event will be staged in collaboration between Lincoln BIG and Krazy Races, who want to work with stakeholders and businesses to bring together entertainers, food stalls and more, giving families a fantastic day to remember.Trio of Boston shops hit with closure orders for illegal activity
