Three days before Shrove Tuesday, Wellingborough will celebrate the occasion by hosting another pancake race in Market Street.

A Wellingborough Town Council spokesperson said: “Gather your friends, family, and colleagues for a fun-filled morning of racing and flipping pancakes.

"Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-time racer, this event promises laughter, excitement, and delicious pancakes for all!”

The race is free to enter, and will begin from 11am, with runners who take part receiving a free pancake for their efforts.

Last year’s event saw families, local officials, emergency services and people of all backgrounds take part in what former Wellingborough mayor, Jonathan Ekins said was a ‘very successful’ day.

Anyone looking to take part should sign up to the event here.
