The community in the parish of Shipley is preparing for its first Soapbox Derby on Friday, June 3 to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Competitors will have to navigate their self-propelled, gravity driven creations down the hill in the bid to be the fastest, most impressive or funniest on the day. Spectators are welcome to come and watch the spectacle free of charge, from 11.30am, with parking available. Photo from Seafront Soapbox Race Eastbourne 2021 (Photo by Jon Rigby) Photo: Jon Rigby
