Volunteers in Tudor costume cooking in the Buckland Abbey Kitchen

About

As you reach the ground floor of Buckland Abbey, you may smell an open fire and something cooking!

Our Tudor cooking team, in full costume, will be whipping up a spread fit for a Tudor household. Their menu will be tailored to the time of year and may reflect events in the Tudor social or religious calendar.

This regular event is a living history display that brings the Abbey to life. The food will not be available for visitors to eat but we will provide recipe cards for you to take away and try at home. Cooking will take place from 11am - 1pm, from 1pm to 3pm the cooks will be around to talk about what they have cooked and answer any questions about Tudor life.

Visitors may be able to assist with some simple tasks such as grinding spices.

The event is free, normal admission to the Abbey applies.
