The Client: Great Dunmow Round Table

The Great Dunmow Soapbox Race is a major annual community event, drawing in over 20,000 people for a day of homemade carts, fundraising, and family-friendly entertainment.

For 2024, the organisers wanted to raise the bar with a new obstacle that would entertain the crowd and give the racers something extra to tackle.

We were asked to provide a fun and safe way to add more visual impact to the race route. It needed to be something that could handle constant use, cope with outdoor conditions, and make a big impression on both spectators and participants.

This is where we came in…

Our Solution: Foam Cannon Hire

We supplied and operated one of our high-output foam cannons. It was set up to create a thick layer of foam over a key section of the track, becoming one of the highlights of the course. The foam is fully biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for all ages, making it ideal for an event with a wide range of attendees.

The Result

The foam cannon became a standout feature. Racers had fun charging through it, and the crowd loved the added drama and photo opportunities. The organisers were pleased with how smoothly everything ran and how much positive feedback the feature received.
