About Shrove Tuesday

Pancake Day in the UK and Ireland, and Mardi Gras elsewhere: the last feast before Lent.

In 2027 it falls on a Tuesday; in 2028 it’s on Tuesday 29 February, and in 2029 on Tuesday 13 February. Also in February 2027: Ramadan (8 Feb), National Pizza Day (9 Feb) and World Pulses Day (10 Feb). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s 47 days before Easter Sunday.
Good to know
Western churches use the Gregorian computus for Easter; Orthodox churches use the Julian one.
