Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, which is forty seven days before Easter Sunday.
That matters for a countdown because a rule can be evaluated for any year, this one or one twenty years out, without waiting for an announcement. Every date on this page comes out of that rule rather than out of a list someone typed in, so nothing here can go stale when a year turns over. Where a date is set afresh each year instead, this catalogue leaves the event out rather than guess at it.
What day of the week is Pancake Day on?
In 2027 it is a Tuesday. Across the next 10 years Pancake Day is always a Tuesday, because the rule names the weekday before it names the date.
