Win VIP passes to North East Soap Box challenge

Competitors will be aiming for glory in this first for the city as they get behind the wheel of their home-made speedsters and take on the challenging course at the Green Flag Award-winning Herrington Country Park.

Sunderland City Council’s cabinet member for communities & culture, Coun John Kelly said: “This is something new for the city and set in the fantastic Herrington Country Park, with thrills, spills, music and entertainment it promises to be a perfect family day out.

“It is great to see so many events being delivered throughout the year and across the city. From beaches and parks to countryside and sporting facilities, Sunderland has a lot to offer both event organisers and visitors.”

As well as the Soap Box Challenge, the free family fun day will include a funfair, craft market, street food market, dedicated kids zone and a live music stage.

Although the event is free to attend, VIP passes entitle the winners access to the VIP parking area, posh loos, welcome drink, complementary food

and private bars.
