Do you think January has been dry (and cold) enough?
Time to bring back the tastes and scents of Summer.
We're dropping the price down to £15 until payday.
We have Classic, Sweet, Cherry, Elderflower and Forest available now.
Let's bring some joy back to January!

We've had a busy weekend at the Etwall Well Dressing.
Thank you to everyone who came along to chat or to buy.
Tasha had a great time and is now zonked and dreaming of all the attention she got and all the other dogs she met.

Etwall Well Dressing this weekend. Lots to see and do, and hopefully a fly past by a Spitfire.

27/02/2024

So that's 4 events getting arranged so far this year. One each in May, July, August and September.
If you know of any that may welcome the best Mead in the Midlands, give us a heads up.

24/12/2023

Heads up, folks.
We are open for collections until 7pm today, then closed Christmas and Boxing Days.
Call on 07773 865124 for a prompt response.

Due to external circumstances we won't be at any Christmas / Yule events this year.
But we're still open for individual sales.
We currently have Classic, Classic Sweet, Cherry and Lemon & Ginger available. 75 cl at £18 each.
We can also provide 250 ml gift-size bottles at £8 each.

What a great idea.

With the summer holidays soon upon us, remember to keep an eye out for our fixed-point photography posts around the Derwent valley. Just take a photo of what you see from the post and upload it to us so that we can keep a record of the changes brought on by moorland restoration. Severn Trent https://tinyurl.com/ycxppza2

Tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday we'll be at this lovely event.
Well dressings are a relatively modern take on ancient beliefs and rituals.
Clean, dependable water has always been important, and the centre of most settlements.
The displays in Etwall are beautiful and so worth a wander around the village. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=636973095128425&id=100064472210779

Greetings, mead lovers.
We're getting ready for our first events, starting with Audley, Staffordshire, on 22/23rd April.

Sadly, given the current economic situation we need to raise our prices. The first rise in 5 years and not something we like to do, but needs must.
From that date, the 75cl bottled will be £18 each, with the £10 discount still kicking in at 6 bottles. Other volumes (3l and 5l poly pins) will go up the same rate.

This comes in at Audley, and any orders placed prior to that will be honoured at the old price of £15 fir 75cl, even if delivered/collected after that date.

Wishing everyone a safe, warm and joyous, or at least peaceful, Christmas.
And remember, mead isn't just for Christmas, you may need to get more for New Year, Easter, the dog's birthday, Wednesday.
