In the Christian calendar, Shrove Tuesday marks the last holiday before Lent officially begins tomorrow.
However, pancakes aren’t the only Shrove Tuesday tradition in the UK.
On that day, always 47 days before Easter Sunday, Britons in the north of England also celebrate the day with a centenary football match.
The Royal Shrovetide football match is taking place in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
He sees the Up’ards – those born north of Henmore Brook, which runs through the city – and the Down’ards, those born south of the river – take to the streets where they compete to hit a ball three times on stone pedestals that They act as goals.
The annual two-day spectacle, in which players carry the ball across an open field while volunteer stewards keep watch, has been going on since at least 1667 and looks more like a rugby match than a football match.
The match is played from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on both Shrove Tuesday and the following day, Ash Wednesday, but goals are rare due to the size of the field.
