Soap boxes return to Hanway Common to raise thousands for local charities

There was a huge turnout for the Richard's Castle Soapbox Derby yesterday.

A total of 38 Soap Boxes hurtled down the track on Hanway Common along with blustery winds.

The event has been cancelled for the last two years because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Organisers estimate more than £10,000 was raised over the weekend with the money going to the Hope Centre in Bromyard, Ludlow Men's Shed and the Ludlow Ukrainian Support Group.
