Bun Throwing in Abingdon-on-Thames

It's been a year since Abingdon's last Bun Throwing event.


Last November my home town of Abingdon marked 100 years since the end of the First World War with a special Bun Throwing event in the market place.

Abingdon has a curious tradition of bun throwing

The Bun Throwing was the 35th event since 1761.


The first marked the Coronation of King George III. The last Bun Throwing held before the 2018 event was to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday in 2016.


I have attended each Bun Throwing in Abingdon in my lifetime, a total of 15 since 1981.
