Pancake day is coming - let's celebrate with a mini party and some pancakes!
About this Event

We love pancakes, so we wanted to celebrate Pancake Day (even if we are a few days early!). 🥞


Join us at Abberton, where we will make some natural party crowns, play a party game or two, and make some food for the birds, so they can join the party.  Of course, it wouldn't be complete if we didn't finish up by cooking some tasty pancakes on the fire to eat and enjoy!


Can't make this event? We have lots more fun planned this half-term, find out more here!
