Discover our top spots for enjoying pancakes in Winchester
Winchester Cathedral Pancake Race
The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Race, organised by Winchester Rotary in partnership with Winchester Cathedral, is back! Celebrate the day with live entertainment and pancakes from the Cathedral mobile catering van before kicking off the races at 1pm.
Teams representing businesses, charities, churches and other community organisations will race in the Outer Close. The day promises pancake-related catastrophes, heaps of laughter and a flippin' good time!
There will be main prizes for the fastest team and the team wearing the best fancy dress costumes, which will be presented at the end of the racing at around 2pm.
This event is free to attend, but charitable donations are welcome. All profits this year will go to Winchester Street Reach.
