Buckden Towers is a unique Grade 1 Listed Build-

You can take a short tour, visit the lovely Knot Gar-

refurbished Friends Refectory.
This year we have special CHILDREN’S events –
making Pilgrims Medallions and Tudor ink (and try a
Tudor pen) and more, in addition to the acres of
grounds for them to explore, so bring the family!
