Maslenitsa at New Holland Island

From 8 to 10 March New Holland will once again be celebrating Maslenitsa (Pancake Week). Just like last year, the festivities will take place in the Bottle House courtyard. Here you will find food and drink stalls where the first floor tenants (Dzamiko, The Vodka Room, Bekitzer, Camorra, Ronny, San Diego, Surf Coffee) will be serving warming drinks and pancakes with a wide range of fillings: raspberry jam and sour cream, braised pork with guacamole, salmon with cream cheese, condensed coconut milk, stewed beef cheeks with oyster mushrooms and much more besides. The Kuznya House restaurant and the Wolkonsky Deli will have a special pancake menu throughout the week of Maslenitsa, as will the winter terrace grill-bar over the weekend.

The P.Т.Kh. Creative Workshop will be running master-classes and games for children and adults alike, where visitors to the island can learn how to make Maslenitsa dolls, greetings cards and masks, as well as taking part in active outdoor games. The festivities will culminate in the Farewell to Winter show, featuring safe, low-temperature pyrotechnics on the stage of the Bottle House courtyard.

Participation in all the events celebrating Maslenitsa is free to all visitors to the island. Further details and a complete events schedule can be found at www.newhollandsp.com
