A pancake race was held in Wellingborough’s Market Street on Saturday (February 18), bringing the community together to celebrate Shrove Tuesday.
In an event that Cllr and mayor of Wellingborough Jonathan Ekins called ‘very successful’, local people were invited to charge down the walkway, flipping a pancake at regular intervals.
Families, local officials, emergency services and people of all backgrounds took part in an event that eclipsed the attendance of last years’ race.
How are you celebrating Shrove Tuesday? Can you see yourself at the race? Let us know!
