We are pleased to announce that the Aylesbury Soapbox Derby is back for a second year running.
30 teams have entered and will be racing their lean, mean, racing machines, powered by sheer courage, down the hill.
Held on Father’s Day, Sunday 19th June at Whitehill Park in Aylesbury. This year there are two racing categories, with trophies for the winning teams and medals for second and third places. Categories are for Junior drivers (15 years old and under) and Senior drivers (16 years old and over). There will also be a trophy for the “Best Looking Kart” as voted for by the public on the day. The 2015 winner was a brilliant bumble bee kart that was constructed from an old garden chair, pieces of scrap wood and a lot of imagination.
Whitehill Park is the setting for this exciting and thrilling event, open to everyone whether you have built a kart or would just like to come along as a spectator and enjoy a host of other activities on offer including music, sumo suits, face painting, inflatables, crafts, games and much more, all for FREE.
The Works will be at the race with their lovely ice-cream bike, along with Just Baguettes and The Coffee Stop, should you get hungry or thirsty.
Come with your family and friends and enjoy a great day out in the park and cheer on the teams and drivers!
