🚨 ACCRINGTON SOAPBOX CHALLENGE 2027 🚨

Right then… who thinks we could actually make our own soapbox from stuff we’ve got lying around the pub and represent The Thorn Inn next year?! 😂🏎️🍻

I honestly think we could make this happen… although whether it would actually make it to the bottom of the hill is another question! 🤣

Would anyone be up for helping build it, decorate it and get involved? I’ve already got my eyes set on the driver 😂😂… he just doesn’t know it yet! 👀🤣

What do we reckon? Is it doable and, more importantly, is it a good idea?! 😂

Come on Thorn Inn crew… let’s see if we can build the maddest soapbox Accrington has ever seen! 🍻🏎️💨
