Abbey Brass were on the Market Place in Abingdon playing carols, but the Christmas Craft Market was cancelled because the expected strong winds were dangerous for gazebos.

Near the Market Place, down the Queen Street alleyway, you can order Peachcroft Farm free range goose and turkey from Hedges the butcher. Hedges were established in 1896, and currently have branches in Abingdon and Oxford (was Covered Market but see comments).  Their vans do a lot of delivering but you can order and buy direct from the door.

The Abingdon reared geese and turkeys are advertised widely on Abingdon bus stops. They are to be seen wandering freely at Peachcroft Farm up until the time they disappear in November.
