Rushden's annual soap box derby did not disappoint with plenty of ‘thrills and spills’ for both competitors and spectators.

Rushden Town Council hosted its eleventh soap box derby in Hall Park last Sunday.

A spokesman for the town council said: “A fantastic day was enjoyed by all, lots of cheering and plenty of smiles.

"We had the usual thrills and spills with karts hurtling down the hill to the finish line.

"Teams really pulled out all the stops with their creativity of karts.

"The champions were presented with amazing trophies from our generous sponsors Kingtools Rushden and supplied by P.W.House Jewellers.

"Congratulations to all who took part and thank you to everyone who came to support this event.

"Thank you to the amazing staff, volunteers and councillors who worked tirelessly behind the scenes and on the day to make this event another success.”
