Pancake races
Some towns and villages in Wiltshire hold traditional pancake races on Shrove Tuesday. Competitors run while flipping a pancake in a frying pan. Swindon and nearby parishes (e.g. Wroughton, Chiseldon) have held races in the past. Check the Pancake Day hub for events, or search Swindon Borough Council and local community pages for the current year.
Family activities
Schools and community centres sometimes run Pancake Day activities. The What's On section lists events in the run-up to Shrove Tuesday. For things to do with kids, see our things to do with kids in Swindon guide.
At home
Pancake Day is popular for cooking at home. Supermarkets stock flour, eggs, and lemons. See our where to get pancakes in Swindon guide if you would rather eat out.
