Mead is an ancient (and tasty) alcoholic drink made from honey, fruit, flowers and spices.
What will you learn?
Come and learn everything you need to know to try this traditional skill at home, from choosing and sterilizing equipment to picking the right ingredients for making your own mead. There will be plenty of tasting (please walk to the workshop if you can) and practical demos.
Everyone will leave with a small taster of mead and one lucky person will leave with a demi john of mead to mature at home. Our tutor, Dinah Sweet, is a master bee keeper and makes many interesting and award winning products from honey and beeswax.
We strive to keep our ticket prices as low as possible so that our workshops can be accessible to all. We are able to offer a limited amount of free tickets to those on low incomes so please get in touch if you wish to attend a workshop but feel that the cost is prohibitive.

Gwneud Medd – Dydd Mercher, 8fed Tachwedd
Mae medd yn ddiod alcoholaidd hynafol (a blasus) sydd wedi cael ei wneud o fêl, ffrwythau, blodau a pherlysiau.
Dewch i ddysgu popeth yr ydych chi angen ei wybod i brofi’r sgil draddodiadol hon yn y cartref, o ddewis a diheintio cyfarpar at ddewis y cynhwysion cywir ar gyfer gwneud eich medd eich hun. Bydd digon o flasu (cerddwch i’r gweithdy os gallwch chi os gwelwch yn dda) ac arddangosiadau ymarferol.
Bydd pawb yn gadael gydag ychydig bach o fedd i’w flasu, a bydd un unigolyn lwcus yn gadael gyda chostrel o fedd i’w aeddfedu gartref. Mae ein tiwtor, Dinah Sweet, yn wenynwraig brofiadol ac mae hi’n gwneud llawer o nwyddau diddorol allan o fêl a chŵyr gwenyn sydd wedi ennill gwobrau.
