Event: Micklegate Run Soapbox Challenge

Back for its third year. Last year saw 20,000 spectators at this event.

Fifty fab soapboxes all careering down the bumpy cobbles of York's famous Micklegate. Very impressive scaffolded ramp built at the top of the street to give competitors a "bit" of momentum.

Free event.

Previous carts have included a giant hyperdermic needle, a unicorn, a rainbow-pooping tortoise, a bathtub and a market stall. All great fun and worth a day out.

Food court. 11 mtr screens. Fairground rides on Ouse Bridge. Live music.

Great family fun day.
