The countdown is on for another bout of English eccentricity known as the Cancer Research UK Great Christmas Pudding Race.

The 29th Great Christmas Pudding Race will take place on the West Piazza on Saturday 5th December. Teams in fancy dress – which in previous years have included cowboys, teapots and Ozzy Osbournes, Christmas trees and of course Christmas puddings – are currently polishing up their pudding-balancing skills ready for the race.

The teams will negotiate the Its-A-Knockout-style course of inflatables and obstacles while balancing a Christmas pud on a tray and being pelted with flour, foam and water. To enter a team in the race or for more information about the event, visit www.cancerresearchuk.org
