The Great Spitalfields Pancake RaceIn celebration of Shrove Tuesday, pancake enthusiasts leg it down Dray Walk in Spitalfields, with a frying pan and slab of batter for a relay race with a difference. All participants need for The Great Spitalfields Pancake Race is a team of four spirited souls happy to run around and toss the odd pancake. 'Athletes', in teams of four, have to run from one point to the next, flipping the pancake successfully a few times on the way. The heats kick off at 12.30pm, followed by the finals and then the ceremonial prize-giving. There's an award for the best-dressed team too so pick a theme and don the appropriate garb - however ridiculous. It's a really eccentric occasion made only better by the wandering clowns and the string band playing in the background. To enter a team, contact Alternative Arts at www.alternativearts.co.uk. Try and get sponsorship or at least bring a donation. Apart from that, all you need is a frying pan - pancakes are provided.
 

About The Old Truman Brewery

Popular with the Shoreditch crowd on the weekends, The Old Truman Brewery houses more than 200 small, creative businesses, a bar and several areas for hire. It encompasses 19 buildings, linked by a series of alleyways and courtyards, but the main area - the Boiler House - is easily identified by its 49-metre chimneystack with 'Truman' written up the side.
