You are invited to celebrate Pancake Day with a fun-filled, family-friendly event on Thursday 19 February, from 11.00am to 12.30pm, on the Green by St Peter’s and St Paul’s Church.
The event will kick off with an official opening by the Mayor, followed by a warm-up led by Urban Om Yoga, helping participants limber up before the races begin.
There will be pancake races for all ages and abilities, with categories including:
- 5 and under
- 6–11 years
- 12–17 years
- Adult
- Relay
- Walking race
In addition to the races, younger visitors can enjoy a children’s craft tent, making it a great morning out for the whole family.
Entry to the event is completely free. Participants simply need to bring their own frying pan, headscarf, and apron. There are prizes to be won, with trophies awarded to race winners.
Everyone is welcome to come along to race, cheer, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you’re competitive or just in it for the fun, join us this Pancake Day for an event that promises plenty of flipping fun.
Cllr Robin Stuchbury, Chair of Town Centre & Events Committee said
The Town Council and the Mayor, Councillor Fran Davies, are looking forward to our annual pancake race. The friendly competition is a wonderful opportunity for friends to see who can manage to reach the other end without dropping their pancake!
These important friendly interactions between the community, and the young people who take part, bring a lot of pleasure to all involved. None of this would be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of our Events and Green Spaces teams, whose hard work in preparing the course makes this event possible.
