Baby in the snow - Groennfell Meadery
After five amazing years in Colchester, we're going to be moving the meadery.

The Mead Hall has been so important to so many people over the years that we're throwing one last hoorah and pulling out all the stops.

Ricky and Kelly will be opening their private stock of early Groennfell releases, there will be all-you-can-eat pork shoulder, a few special guests, and toasts throughout the day to all the amazing people who have made the Mead Hall what it is.

As always, the event is free to attend and family friendly!
