With the RSA’s Food, Farming and Countryside Commission in full swing, we hope you’ll be able to join us at a special food and drink-themed RSA meetup.

We’ll start with coffee at The Barn, a shop, deli, café and butchery offering the finest local produce from Bedfordshire and nearby.  

Then we’ll take a short stroll to Warden Abbey Vineyard. This community vineyard is a not-for-profit project located on the site of the former Cistercian Warden Abbey. It aims to provide social, health and educational benefits for local people whilst providing a financially and environmentally sustainable future for this historic vineyard.  

After a guided tour, with plenty of opportunity for questions and conversation about the vineyard and the work of the commission, we’ll then take a short drive to the walled garden at Caesar’s Camp for further discoveries (including a trial vineyard I have just planted there) and light refreshments, with wine tastings, as guests of Lord Naseby. 

 

Approximate timings as follows: 

  • 11am - The Barn Cardington (then walk to). 
  • 11.30 - Warden Abbey Vineyard (then drive to). 
  • 12.50 - Caesar’s Camp. 
  • 14.00pm - Finish. 

 

If you have any questions about the event, or for suggestions of other things to do nearby, including the RSPB’s Lodge and Nature Reserve and RAF Tempsford, please do contact Christopher Burr at [email protected].
