Local chefs will be giving their top tips and recipe hints for making your pancakes perfect on Shrove Tuesday - on February 28 this year. Chefs will be demonstrating their skills in 15 minute sessions running from 2pm to 4pm.

Pancake races were an annual tradition in Daventry, usually held in Sheaf Street. But the tradition died out and such races have not been held in the town centre for more then a decade.
