The Buckland Book: A weekend of music
Join us for a magical weekend full of music!
Working in partnership, National Trust and Exeter University researchers have transcribed the music from the Buckland Book, ready for its first performance in nearly five centuries.
This music will be performed live by the University of Exeter Chapel Choir in the medieval Great Barn
They will also be joined by St Eustachius Church Choir, Mayflower Acapella, West Devon Chorale & South Devon Singers who will perform music of their choice
A drop-in music workshop will provide visitors with an opportunity to get creative and make their own music
The Abbey will also host musical performances throughout the day from volunteers and the University of Exeter Chapel Choir performing in small groups in the chapel
The event is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council through an Impact Accelerator Account Award
If you wish to pre-book car parking, we have 51 spaces and 6 blue badge spaces. There will also be free-flow parking available, but please be aware that we cannot guarantee availability due to expected high numbers
