What's On

Family Feast Picnic

Come and enjoy a relaxing afternoon surrounded by nature: magnificent trees, local wildlife, and a peaceful stream.

There’ll be guided walks to explore this beautiful spot, family activities and live music from Oconee Bell.

Great Mead is hosting this Family Feast Picnic as part of the Somerset Food Trail Festival which celebrates the best, most sustainably produced local food. 

Great Mead is a pilot project in the heart of Chard, aiming to transform 6.4 acres of underused land into a welcoming place for everyone to enjoy. 

Working with a wide range of people, together we're creating a vibrant community space filled with creative, wellbeing and nature-based activities and fun events. It’s all about bringing people together: connecting with the land, with each other, and exploring new ways to build a safe, inclusive, and beautiful space for everyone to enjoy.
