The St Albans Pancake Race, a beloved tradition, was in full swing on Shrove Tuesday! The sun was out and on our Cathedral team was Fr Will, Fr Kevin, Dean Jo, and Head Virger Joe, who took to the streets of St Albans with great energy and determination. The crowd cheered them on in the sunshine and thankfully no one took a tumble!

This event is organised by Home-Start Hertfordshire, a local children’s charity, in collaboration with Hertfordshire’s Business Buzz. Teams from all over the area gathered to compete for the coveted Pancake trophies and support an incredible charity.

With tomorrow marking Ash Wednesday, the race provided a lighthearted prelude to the reflective season of Lent. 

The 2025 St Albans Pancake Race was a great success, and we look forward to seeing what next year’s event will bring!
