We’ve got lots planned for you on Race Day: outside the Church Hall you can hear the fairground organ ‘Susan’ from James Reid of Doncaster and listen to its large repertoire of music from the past and present. You can also catch the wonderful Wintringham Pipers in the Market Place and outside St Peter & St Paul’s Church as they pipe in the Race winners.
Have some fun with The Great Gappo, with his balloon modelling and unicycle; he’s been joining us at the Pancake Race for many years 😊 You can also meet Fred, Homepride’s bowler-hat-wearing Chief Flour Grader, and chat with the team from our local Fire Station.
For those of you who want to shop, come along to the Market Place where you’ll find:
- Lavender House- all things lavender
- Potato Headz – fun potato items
- Bozeat Honey
- Bells Designs
- Carol Hilbourne – local artist
- Walk on the Wired Side
- Olney Pancake Race goodies
- Fantastic Race Tombola
- Cowper & Newton Museum souvenirs
- Freshly made pancakes – also at the Church Hall
- Coffee from Wooden Hill
Why not join us in the Marquee after the start of the race at 12.00pm for some half-term fun? You can ‘Splat the Rat’, decorate a pancake, and do some colouring.
We can’t wait to see you!
