Many visitors �ame to the Russian Pancake Day celebration, organised by the Derby Russian school RUBRIC. They were so impressed by the celebration and shared their thoughts with us:

â��This year, in the end of February, we came to visit our daughter who lives in Derby. After hearing about RUBRIC, we wanted to find out some about the organisation.  Therefore, we decided to come along  to the Russian Pancake Day celebration at St Peterâ��s Church in Derby city centre.

We were so impressed� it was a great cultural event!

The  children and adults were dressed up in colourful Russian costumes and this,  together with the colourful display of Russian dolls and other Russian artefacts, were remarkable, especially for the British audience.  We all thoroughly enjoyed the traditional singing and dancing by both children and adults. The culmination was the traditional Russian game involving everyone and, obviously, eating delicious pancakes! That gave us a feeling of insight into different cultures and bringing them together in a special gathering.

The atmosphere was fantastic and we are really grateful to the folks at RUBRIC for organising such a great event!"
