It's Pancake Day!
- Tuesday 17 February, 2pm to 4pm
Free, all welcome. Refreshments included.
Pancake Day is a great occasion for all the family. Whether it’s pancakes for breakfast or tea, there is the sweet smell of frying batter, and the constant piling on plates of each cooked pancake to be topped with – what? Did you favour the traditional sugar and lemon, or go for honey, or other toppings? Today there are many more toppings offered, especially savoury ones (only those pancakes are called crepes!).
Did you help with making the mixture and did your mum courageously toss the pancake to flip to the other side? Were you actually allowed to do the frying? Any disasters? And let’s not forget the reason behind the tradition of Shrove Tuesday – to use up the fat and flour before abstaining from richer foods during Lent. Did you give up sweets or chocolate for Lent? Is there still something you love that you still give up? And are there any other traditional foods that were favourites in your family?
Come to the museum and share your memories over a cup of tea.
