The Longridge SoapBox Derby will see a racetrack being built down Berry Lane for the enjoyment of families near and far. There will be food, music, entertainment, picnic facilities and, above all, the race teams who are bringing all of their design skills and creativity together for your enjoyment.

Thousands of spectators are expected from all over the Ribble Valley and beyond to cheer on the weird, wacky and wonderful SoapBox entrants, who can enjoy watching carefully crafted karts being hurtled down a track which will consist of chicanes, jumps, water features and more.

The SoapBox Derby this year is raising money for St Catherine's Hospice, who care for adults in Central Lancashire, including Longridge, who have a life-shortening condition, and their loved ones. The hospice works with patients and families to help them achieve what is important to them. Care is personalised to each individual and their circumstances, and aim to help people live in comfort, and with dignity, independence and choice.
