Pancake day in 2011 is March 8th. It is in March this year (instead of February) as it marks the start of lent, and thus it is 41 days before Easter Sunday.
Lent it's self Starts on the Wednesday, directly flowing Shrove Tuesday ( Aka Pancake day).
Easter, is movable date, as it depends on the when the 1st full moon is in the new year.
