Accrington town centre welcomes the Soapbox Challenge this Saturday 29th August 2026. Come down and enjoy a great event. We will be open throughout with a diversionary route in place for vehicular access as below.
Pedestrian access as usual. For vehicular access follow the diversionary route from Avenue Parade/Abbey street onto Peel Street, then turn left onto Infant Street, then right onto Bridge Street which will be open to two-way traffic for access. Vehicles may be temporarily stopped from crossing Blackburn Road briefly whilst the Soapbox karts traverse along Blackburn Road.
