Viking Cooking

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.
