Viking Cooking

Join our historical cooking team as they explore a new era in Buckland Abbey's kitchen.

  • Free event (admission applies)

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

Our volunteer historical cooking team will be whipping up a spread fit for a Viking long hall.

This 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 Viking 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.
