A TOWN’S annual pancake race is cancelled but the famous “Wabbit of the West” will be making the race go virtual this year.

Every year children, adults and pancake lovers gather for the Great Wallingford Pancake Race.

Resisting the urge to eat them the people of Wallingford race with the pancakes balanced in their frying pans and attempt to not let them fall flat on the floor.

Each year a fancy dress theme is chosen, last year’s theme was Toy Story and this year Wabbit will be bringing the fun.

As the Corn Exchange Theatre is closed at the moment and the Sinodun Players are unable to perform any plays, they have been seeking out other acts to come to Wallingford.

Next week the famous “Wabbit of the West” will be wobbling around the town tossing pancakes to raise some money for the theatre as well as the local Toy Bank.

The giant Easter rabbit will be helping everyone still have a flipping good time reminding everyone that all these events will appear again just as soon as we are all safe.

Wallingford Corn Exchange wants the town to have a good time, but does not want to encourage crowds to gather and will be keeping the town updated on the event online. Pictures of Wabbit will be posted to social media which can be found via the Corn Exchange website.

People can also sponsor Sinodun Players, Wallingford Corn Exchange and he local Toy Bank at https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SinodunPlayersattheCornExchange.
