About

Scarborough's annual flippin' fantastic Pancake Day Race is held in the town centre followed by local schools heading to South Bay to take part in the traditional skipping spectacular.

In line with tradition in Scarborough, Pancake day kicks off with the Town Crier introducing the Mayor who then rings the Pancake bell on North Street at 12 noon. The Mayor then, along with 'This is the Coast' local radio host Paddy, will begin the pancake race on Aberdeen Walk. Teams of two from local businesses will compete to win the legendary Golden Frying Pan.

Everyone then heads down to Foreshore road on Scarborough's south bay (which is closed to traffic for the afternoon) for the unique tradition of skipping by the seaside!
