3.30 -5pm – Ashill Soapbox Derby
Prizes for the fastest and best decorated Kart. Join the daring downhill run or come along and cheer on the Karts from anywhere along the course. Favorite spectator zones include the pub carpark as the Karts race around the bend and by the Village Hall to watch the fast downhill final run. See map below for route.
Karts to meet at the start area (junction with Batts Park) at 3.15pm where you will need to sign a registration form and assemble ready for the race.
We will do a kids ride on non-race at the end of the soap box Derby – no rules for this one just an opportunity for kids to have a go and join in on their own like trikes with parents welcome to run down alongside them.
Please note – the road from the junction with Batts Park down to the Village Hall will be closed from 3-5pm for the safety of the soapbox Derby and parking is not permitted along the route during this time.
Soapbox Race Route. Finishing at the Village Hall
5.30pm Soapbox Trophy presentation at the Village Hall
6pm – Hog Roast at the Village Hall.
IMPORTANT! In the past, when we've had a hog roast with live music at the Village Hall, villagers have sometimes missed out due to its popularity.
So, this year, we are selling pre-order tickets to villagers and other people who support our events. Unless it's already a sell-out, you will also be able to buy your hog roast on the day.
To secure pre-order tickets for the hog roast/vegetarian option, at £5.00/head, please text or phone Terry at 07955200369 or send an email to terrye4445@gmail.com
6.30pm - Live Music from Ian and Scott from the Sweet Black Angels at the Village Hall
Bouncy castle in the play park at the Village Hall throughout the day.
