Beccles Soapbox Derby 2026
The third Beccles Soapbox Derby event on Sunday 27th September was a great day, with large crowds lining the track on Station Road.
This year’s winners were Broadwater Boys representing Broadwater Mouldings. The Public Choice winners were Shoreline Bathrooms and the Mayor’s Choice for best-looking kart was the Jurassic Park-themed ‘Life, Uh, Find a Way’.
Town Mayor Cllr Joe Athorn said:
“Like so many people I’ve spoken to throughout the year, our annual Soapbox Derby is something I’ve very much been looking forward to, and this year did not disappoint.
Expanding the event and working with the Sunday Market meant the track was lined with spectators and our town centre was enjoyed by all – it was heaving and so incredible to see!
Thank you to all the participants, event sponsors and spectators for your support. I would also like to add an extra special thank you to the amazing volunteers. This event and every smiling face and precious memory made could not happen without you.”
We look forward to the 2027 Soapbox Derby.
