Pancake Tuesday 🥞 17th February 🥞
16th Feb 2026
Tomorrow we celebrate Pancake Tuesday (also known as Shrove Tuesday )as we prepare to begin the season of Lent. ✝️🥞
Traditionally, this day was a time to use up rich ingredients like eggs, milk and sugar before the simpler season of Lent began. It’s a lovely opportunity to talk with children about new beginnings, reflection and making positive choices, while also enjoying a delicious treat together!
