Britain's What's On Event Guide
St. Augustine's Abbey
Heritage Open Day: Visit the second biggest ecclesiastical site in Canterbury - part of our UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated just outside the city walls, St. Augustine’s Abbey was one of the most significant religious sites in medieval England.
The 6th-century home of a mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons, St Augustine's Abbey would grow to become an important centre of learning and spirituality that lasted for centuries. It may even have been the birthplace of the Bayeux Tapestry.
Delve into the history of St Augustine’s Abbey and uncover the stories of the key people associated with the site over the years, including the abbey’s namesake, St Augustine.
