Seize the Revelry!
We are taking our party on the road to a different venue this season and we hope you will join us. Mutton and Mead has always tried to be an engaging party for all who are drawn to our gates, and our Bash will continue that tradition while creating a new lively event where the revelry of music is front and center. If you have missed us, and want to support us then come and party with us!
Seize The Glorious Day!
An exciting musical entertainment lineup, jesters and you might even catch a troll. Whimsical fun, games and activities. Armored Combat as well as many other historical demonstrations.
Seize the Shopping!
Adorn yourself and those you care about with all manner of treasures in our Medieval Marketplace! From costumes to candy, swords to masks, chainmail to leather goods, you'll discover trinkets you won't see anywhere else!
Seize the Wondrous Night!
Enjoy the rousing music of our Revelry Court (dancing encouraged) or kick back and enjoy a bardic circle or ambient music jam under the majestic night sky.

MISFITS OF AVALON: The ancient and enchanting hammered dulcimer and mandolin, Guitar and vocals. Be delighted by the beautiful and uplifting sounds of traditional contemporary Celtic music.
AN ENCHANTED GLEN: Encounter and play with fairies, sprites, trolls and other mysterious creatures who have also come to enjoy the revelry. Be on the lookout as there might even be a parade where they take to the shire’s lanes, inviting you to join them. They are just as curious about you as you are about them.
DUNGEON DELVERS , located in the Enchanted Glen, spins tales of fantasy and adventure for children and families! Become the heroes of your own myths and legends as the Dungeon Master unlocks the power of imagination. But be warned: only the dice can decide your fate!
TAVERN SING: The beloved Mutton and Mead Tavern welcomes all to our rollicking Tavern Sing. Lift your glass and sing or clap along.

SAUCY SERENADE: Titillating tunesmithery from the bawdy bard(s) and lusty ladies. Euphemistically bawdy ballads and salacious shanties geared towards adults ( but great icebreaker for parents wanting to have “the talk”)
