Upcoming events
We are very sorry but this event has been cancelled.
Pre-ordered items for collection will still be available on the day.
February sees the return of Farmers’ Markets at Creake Abbey. A perfect time to stock up on healthy options including kombucha! Don’t miss hearty winter vegetables to pair with Norfolk short rib of beef or pies of many kinds! Happy New Year everyone!
Welcome to the March market which sees winter receding, albeit slowly, and the first real glimpses of spring in the garden. A delicious, freshly made baklava is a thing of beauty and you can find this treat in the Tin Barn from Oz, founder of Meze Turka. Don’t miss her tomato sauce perfect for Shakshuka or her stuffed vine leaves!
Quiche Lorraine and freshly made salads? Yes! The April Farmers’ Market falls on Easter Saturday so stock up on delicious Norfolk lamb from Grenadier Farm, or beef from Norfolk & Better or Bates Moor Farm! Happy Easter everyone.
This much-loved horticultural event, now celebrating its nineteenth year at Creake Abbey, will return on Saturday 16th May 2026. We look forward to welcoming you to view and purchase fabulous plants from approx. 30 specialist plant nurseries. Meet the plantsmen and women, ask your thorniest questions and find interesting and brilliant plants for every spot in your garden.
Coastal Health & Wellbeing (Wells Community Hospital Trust) is holding its sixth family fun day and dog show at Creake Abbey to raise funds to support its coastal community in living happier and healthier lives. You can expect dog shows, arts and crafts stalls, doggy trade stands and activities for children. Live music all day.
For 2026 Moving Parts Theatre Co. will bring a brand new adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel Northanger Abbey to Creake Abbey ruins.
Although this novel has had fewer stage adaptations than Austen's other books, it is in many ways the most theatrical of all her works.
Join us for a journey which shifts back and forth between the world of Regency parlours and parties and the mystical, melodramatic landscape of the Gothic thriller.
Enjoy a picnic and a glorious evening of drama, fun and inventive story-telling!
