Bun throwing in the news

It was nice to hear that bun throwing was featured in the Abingdon Herald and Oxford Mail this week with a look at the town's bizarre and ancient tradition.

It was fun that a photo of me throwing a bun at the Royal Bun Throwing Championships in 2012 was included in the piece too!

Check out the article on the Abingdon Herald and Oxford Mail websites.

The last bun throwing held in Abingdon-on-Thames was in November 2018 to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War.

That bun throwing was the 35th event to take place since 1761.

I wonder when it will be possible to hold another bun throwing?

Bun Throwing in the Oxford Mail

Bun throwing featured in the Oxford Mail.

My mum let me know that a photo of me appeared in yesterday's Oxford Mail (Monday 22nd February) in a photo feature about bun throwing events from years gone by.

You can see the article online too.

The paper had a photo of me throwing a currant bun at the World Bun Throwing Championships at Abingdon Vale Cricket Club on the 14th April 2012. That's the photographer who took the snap in this photo that Emily took!

Looking on the Oxford Mail website there was another mention of bun throwing last week in a piece titled "5 unique traditions only people in Oxfordshire understand".
