ABOUT THE TW SOAPBOX RACE

We are pleased to announce the Tunbridge Wells Soapbox Stars Race is returning to Tunbridge Wells in 2023 even bigger, better and more exhilarating than before!

 

The one of a kind soapbox kart race raises a serious amount of cash for local charities while bringing together businesses and community groups for a hilarious family fun day out in the heart of the town. To date, the event has helped raise more than £83,000 for a range of charities!

 

The Tunbridge Wells Soapbox Stars Race continues to support the Hospice in The Weald and will again be collecting food donations at the Nourish Community Foodbank stations located at both entrance gates to Dunorlan Park.

All teams taking part in the Tunbridge Wells Soapbox Stars race are invited to choose a second charity of their choice to fundraise for on the day. Chatty Hatter, organisers of the event, will be raising funds for The Pickering Cancer Drop-In Centre. The Tunbridge Wells Soapbox Stars founders of Coco's Vodcast The Big Chat will be raising funds for their second charity of choice, Mental Health Resource.

Hand-built soapbox karts, sponsored, manned and expertly 'pimped up' by each team, will go head to head in this high-octane and sometimes chaotic time trial on a specially designed downhill race track in the picturesque park.

Once again our fabulous hosts the legendary TV Chef Rosemary Shrager and the local celebrity superstar, Tom Swift will be commentating to the thousands of spectators which are again expected to turn out to support friends, foes, business associates and rivals in the race of the year!
