This event is part of the Great Big Green Week:
Buckland Abbey Great Big Green Week
Historic Cooking
- Date: June 08, 2026 - 11am till 1:30pm
- Location: Buckland Abbey, Buckland Abbey, Yelverton, PL20 6EY
- Organiser: National Trust
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.
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.
This session explores how the Tudors would have cooked, focusing on minimising waste, making use of what we might consider leftovers, and incorporating wild or naturally foraged ingredients.
