A giant fundraising charity event is roaring into Tunbridge Wells on Saturday 16 June, hosted by Jean’s Kitchen and Wine Bar.

The one-day Crazy Jeans extravaganza, a huge soapbox race and exhilarating family fun day, will pit the town’s most competitive drivers against each other and push fundraising for local charities into overdrive.

Forty soapbox carts each sponsored and manned by local businesses and community groups will go head to head in a day of races in the town’s picturesque Dunorlan Park to raise thousands for much-loved Kent charities Hospice in the Weald and ellenor.

Powering the event is headline sponsors Markerstudy, one of the biggest employers in Tunbridge Wells, who are not only apt in being car insurers but are keen supporters of local community events and charities.

TV chef Rosemary Shrager, as celebrity ambassador, is launching the races at midday as well as hosting the closing ceremony and prize-giving at 5pm. Tom Swift of Wicked Productions is providing Race Day commentary throughout the fun-packed day.

Alongside the race track, Crazy Jean’s also includes a food village, Local & Live acoustic music stage and children’s entertainment including a fire engine, crafts, story-telling and inflatables. Look out for the infamous Ring-Pull Man too!!!

The brainchild of Tunbridge Wells entrepreneur Garry Jeffery of Jean’s Kitchen and Wine Bar on St John’s Road, Crazy Jean’s will raise money for two charities close to his and the town’s heart while also bringing a big, community event to the town he grew up in.
