description The LHCb detector at the LHC has a unique peudorapidity coverage (2 < $\eta$ < 5) which allows to perform soft QCD measurements in the kinematic forward region where QCD models have large uncertainties. Selected analyses on soft QCD measurements in $pp$ collisions are summarised in these proceedings. The energy flow has been measured separately for different event classes allowing to probe multi-parton interactions at large $\eta$. The measured prompt hadron ratios are important for hadronisation models, while the $\bar{p}/p$ is a good observable to test models of baryon number transport. Charm production has been studied to determine cross-sections and production ratios. All measurements are compared to Monte Carlo simulation or theory predictions.
