Happy Pancake Day!

Shrove tuesday

We wish everyday started with Onesie pancake flipping...

It's Shrove Tuesday - one of our favourite days of the year!

Shrove Tuesday – also known as Pancake Day is the last day before Christians celebrate Lent - a time of giving things up.

It is traditional to eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday as it is the last day to indulge yourself on foods that you will be giving up over Lent.

Did you know... In England, as part of community celebration, many towns held traditional Shrove Tuesday “mob football” games. However, after the passing of the Highway Act 1835, the practice mostly died out due to football being banned on public highways. A number of towns have maintained the tradition, including Alnwick, here in Northumberland.
