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

This event is a living history display that brings the Abbey to life.
As it is Great Big Green Week, this session will be focused on the low waste attitudes of Tudor Cooks and providing inspiration for our own modern lives.
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.
Visitors may be able to assist with some simple tasks such as grinding spices.
