Abingdon Traditional Craft Fair is a modern-day tradition in the ancient Abbey Buildings, a three-day show which traces its roots back to the 1970s, raising money for the upkeep of the medieval buildings in which it is held. They are the only remaining legacy from the once-famous Abbey dismantled by Henry VIII. The show is curated to safeguard its reputation for quality and genuine craftsmanship.
