The much-anticipated return of the St Albans Pancake festival is here! This beloved event is set to grace the streets of St Albans once again this year, and the entire community is invited to take part and enjoy! Join us on Shrove Tuesday, 17th February 2026 as teams showcase their flipping expertise to compete for the highly regarded Pancake trophies, awarded to the fastest running and walking teams.

The St Albans Pancake Festival is organised by local children's charity, Home-Start Hertfordshire, in collaboration with Business Buzz.

Last year, the festival raised a fabulous £7,215. These funds contributed to supporting local families facing vulnerabilities and in need of assistance, helping them navigate and overcome their challenges.
