International Pancake race set for Salisbury High Street once more

Monday, 15 January 2024 00:00

Due to popular demand, Salisbury Foodbank, with the support of St. Thomas Church, is pleased to announce the return of the International Pancake Race on Tuesday, February 13th, at 11 a.m.

Due to today's weather, the race will take place under the cover of the Cathedral Cloisters, not the High Street.

This perennially popular fun community event helps raise awareness of food insecurity and poverty. In 2024, people in our community are going without essentials that many of us take for granted: food on a plate, a warm coat, heating on, and a secure roof over our heads.

Organisers have already received interest from several people and organisations. Still, those wanting to get in training to hone their ‘flippin’ skills should reserve their place in the competition without delay.

FREE entry - details available on the Salisbury Foodbank website: https://salisbury.foodbank.org.uk/news/

There will be a sumptuous prize for the winner, plus the unparalleled prestige of winning the Golden Frying Pan for this year.

The event will take place on Salisbury’s High Street, but if the weather looks to be inclement, it will be moved to Salisbury Cathedral Cloisters.
