THE Hire Standards Soap Box Grand Prix is being held again this year on Castle Street in Trowbridge.
The race has been sponsored by Westbury’s tool and plant hire, Hire Standards Ltd, for the past three years. It is organised by the Trowbridge Carnival Committee and takes place down a 100-metre course on Castle Street.
Entrants from across the county will be carting themselves over to join in the fun, which has also been supported by the Westbury 1st Scout Group. Entry is £2 per racer, and there are both child and adult categories. There are trophies to be won, and other prizes for best soap box, fancy dress, or theme, and all entrants get a certificate and a small gift. The derby will be on Saturday 17th August, starting at 9am.
