River Avon & a horse outpace the competition in the 2026 Bradford on Avon Pancake Race

Congratulations to Harry Webb (The Three Horseshoes) and Lianne Barnard (Bowline Communications) for winning this year’s Pancake Race — kindly supported by Bonne Maman.

We were so pleased to bring the race back to Victory Field this year – and to hold a children’s race for the very first time.

All 11 runners took on a daring dash across the field, flipping their pancakes as they went – and trying not to drop them, or face instant disqualification.

The kids usually come along to watch, but this year over 80 children from Westview & Shambles Nursery took part in two races of their own!

And as always, the fancy dress was a highlight. Alongside our winners who were dressed as a horse and the River Avon, we also had a paint palette, a chef and a rock star.

We’d also like to thank you to the local businesses who made the event so special:  

  • Bowline Communications
  • Team Eleven
  • Bluebird Care
  • The Three Horseshoes
  • H2 Creative
  • Westview Day Nursery
  • The Pottery Palette
  • Wiltshire Music Centre
  • Back 2 You Physiotherapy.
