The popular local event sees teams racing their colourful carts of all shapes, sizes and themes down the 450m ramp, in an attempt to take home one of the coveted prizes.

The Humber Bridge Soapbox Derby is run by the Hessle Town Council in association with the Humber Bridge Board and co-ordinated by Smile to maximise charitable impact.

2017 is an exciting year for Hull and the surrounding areas with a variety of City of Culture activity planned, and it’s hoped that this will help draw a record number of entrants to the event.

Rides, trampolines and refreshments will be added into the mix again to create a great family day out for the teams and spectators.

Corporate team entries cost £300 per team and all other entries £100. For more information on entering a team, please email Sarah Shepherdson: ss@heysmilefoundation.org
