The City’s Inter-Livery Pancake Race in Guildhall Yard followed by a buffet lunch in the Guildhall Crypt.
Unfortunately The Carmen have not been included in the invitation to participate in the Inter Livery Pancake race this year. However, the race, which is always great fun to watch, will be taking place from 11.30am. Teams, each of four competitors and wearing either fancy dress or full regalia or perhaps a combination thereof, race around the Guildhall Yard tossing their pancakes and the victors receive, fittingly, frying pans as well as a trophy. Each of the participating trades have their own appropriate role in the proceedings, for example the Gunmakers start each race literally with a bang, Clockmakers time the heats and Fruiterers provide lemons to accompany the pancakes. The competition has been running annually for over 15 years and proceeds go to charitable causes.
You can book in for the hot buffet lunch with wine and pancakes after starting at 1.30pm at a cost of £38.32 per person. Please use the following link to book your tickets direct – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/inter-livery-pancake-race-2022-buffet-lunch-tickets-255189116517
