FollowOur local abbey opened for business way back in 1083. It had a bit of a wobble during the Reformation (thanks Henry) but it’s still standing and functioning as a parish church today. The abbey is situated on Abbey Foregate, on the eastern side of the town.
The custodians of the abbey are keen to keep it alive as a destination for leisure as well as a place of worship. As such, regular concerts take place here, and tonight we’re in for a real treat.
The abbey has been modernised inside, and of course there’s a bar. The concert was really good.
On the way home we stopped at a couple of pubs and followed England’s victory against Croatia in the World Cup. Great night out.
