Newest Review: ... It OK if it is the first time that you have whitnessed such madness, but when you've seen 20 years of the fair it become quite repetative.

The first thing in Alnwick that happens on an annual basis is the Pancake Day 'football' match. Basically its a day of madness, where kids of all ages take a day off school or work and go and play 'FOOTBALL', mind they use this term loosey, as the Alnwick game there is no offsides, no touch lines, no coners, and the 'goals', 'Hails' as they are called, their are about two feet wide, and 7 foot tall, it is strange, but if you score you can win money. But its good for a laugh. ...
