The celebrations is one part of a larger project to help protect and conserve the entire Abbey of St Edmund.

The Abbey Gardens represents just a third of the former Abbey of St Edmund site which stretches across as far as St Mary’s Church, the Vinefields and the water meadows. The Abbey of St Edmund Heritage Partnership was set up to help protect and conserve the entire Abbey of St Edmund area and to develop greater public understanding of its archaeological, historical, architectural and religious significance.
