SUMMARY:Plot to Plate Festival
DESCRIPTION:Grow it\, cook it\, share it\, love it. \nCome and join our new festival – a celebration and a learning experience. \nOur Plot to Plate Community Festival will celebrate growing\, cooking and eating vegetables. It is a chance to try new recipes\, learn new growing tips\, improve your cooking skills and consider rebalancing your diet. Cooking recipes with higher vegetable content is a great way to stretch the family budget and bring healthier options to your table and the savings are increased if you grow your own\, as well as creating a stress-busting family activity across all ages. \nPlot to Plate will include fun activities for families as well as the classes\, talks and tastings focused on vegetable growing\, cooking and eating. The organisers want to create an event that is fun and light-hearted even though the things you can learn while you are there could have a big impact on your life and health and the planet. \nThe daytime festival starts at 11am. Entry is free but we are asking people to register for the talks and workshops so that we can manage numbers.  The Long Gallery Tea Room is open for elevenses\, lunch and afternoon teas. No more entries through the gate after 4.30pm. Final event of the day is Gardeners Question Time in the Unicorn Theatre starting at 4.30pm. \nFrom 6.00pm there is a ceilidh. Dancing starts around 6.30pm until 9.30pm with a one hour break in the middle. Bar and evening meal service. Tickets £7 for adults (£3.50 for under 14s) \nWe advise that tickets for the ceilidh are bought in advance because numbers will be limited as the Lower Hall has restricted space. \nFor more details and to book talks\, workshops or the ceilidh\, please visit https://abingdonabbeybuildings.co.uk/plot-to-plate-community-festival

SUMMARY:"In a Monastery Garden” - Abingdon Abbey Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Visit one of Abingdon’s lesser-known treasures\, the remaining domestic buildings of the medieval Abingdon Abbey. Explore the “pop-up” Monastery Herb Garden\, to see herbs used by the monks for both medicinal and culinary purposes. Talk to the beekeeper about his bees and honey\, a medieval wonder food. \n\nAbingdon Abbey was one of the most cultured and wealthy monasteries of England. It welcomed many royal visitors over 500 years to 1536\, when the Abbey Church and most of the rest of the abbey precinct was demolished by order of King Henry VIII. The domestic buildings were sold as commercial premises and over the next 400 years were successively a corn mill\, a brewery and eventually slum dwellings. They were saved from demolition in 1944 by The Friends of Abingdon and after the first 10 years of repair and restoration they opened to the public; they have been open ever since\, but the repair and restoration work continues. More information about the Buildings and their history can be found on our website. \nThe Buildings will be open to wander around at your leisure or with a guide. Refreshments will be available in the Long Gallery. The Monastery Herb Garden will be open in the Millstream Garden on both days. Representatives from a wine collective will be there to talk about English wine-making and offer tastings\, and on Sunday afternoon a beekeeper will be available in the North Garden\, with a glass beehive and to answer questions about honey and the life of bees.
