If you visit during a special Royal occasion, you may be able to watch an event that seems to be unique to the town. For at least two hundred years the town of Abingdon has celebrated national events and festivities in an unusual way. The Corporation of Abingdon, now Abingdon Town Council, throw fruit buns from the roof of the County Hall building to crowds of people waiting in the market place below. The first recorded bun throwing was in 1760. The next time this is due to happen will be upon the occasion of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

For an equally unusual/different attraction, there are also two Morris teams in Abingdon which continue the long tradition of Morris dancing in the town. As well as frequent displays at local events, one of the teams parade through the town each year on the occasion of the election of the Mayor of Ock Street.

Proprietor Terry Boswell will always welcome you and looks forward to hosting your stay at Abbey Guest House.
