Pancake Day

Get a taste of British hospitality and join a community that makes you feel at home. 

Bring friends and colleagues to learn more about St. George's Society's work and meet our community.

Complimentary pancakes | Drink specials | Raffle prizes | Networking | and more!

What is Pancake Day?

Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity for people to use up eggs and fats before embarking on their fasting and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients.

A traditional English pancake is a thin, flat cake, made of batter and fried in a frying pan, served with lemon juice and caster sugar as toppings.

We'll be serving up complimentary traditional English pancakes at our sweetest networking event.

King's Birthday Community Picnic

Wish you had two birthdays? King Charles III does. Let’s celebrate!

The celebration is open to all! Guests are encouraged to bring their own food, beverages, and picnic blankets. Families with kids of all ages and pets are welcome!

Free to attend for members and non-members.
