On Tuesday 17 February 2026, Aura Care Living’s Stratton Court, Cirencester, and Kings Lodge, Camberley, went head-to-head in a live pancake flipping competition hosted over Zoom. The rules are simple but far from easy: each home’s chosen resident will have one minute to complete as many full pancakes flips as possible – keeping the pancake firmly in the pan and successfully turning it over in the air. The resident with the most clean, complete flips before the clock runs out will be crowned this year’s Pancake Champion.
The virtual event was not only designed not only to celebrate Pancake Day in style but also to strengthen the connection between the two Aura Care Living communities. By hosting the competition over Zoom, residents in Cirencester and Camberley will be able to share the excitement together in real time, despite being miles apart.
Events like this form part of Aura Care Living’s ongoing commitment to meaningful activities that promote wellbeing, social interaction and fun. Pancake Day has long been a favourite in the homes’ activity calendars, but this year’s inter-home contest adds an extra competitive twist.
The winners were Stratton Courts Margaret with 10 and Tina, with fifteen flips.
