Great Christmas Pudding Race Information:

The Great Christmas Pudding Race has been a London annual event since 1980. Teams of contestants wearing fancy dress have to run around Covent Garden piazza while trying to balance a Christmas pudding on a plate! Obstacles, such as balloons full of flour, are put in their way to make it even more fun to watch. It's a charity event to raise money for Cancer Research.
