Carw Gwyn is pleased to announce the launch of a new event – Mead, Makers and Manuscripts – on Wednesday, July 1^st, 2026! In collaboration with Danu’s Wardrobe, a fantasy pop-up bookstore and immersive event producer, we will feature a book swap and crafting evening where creativity abounds! Bring your books, crafting supplies, and historical attire!

This month’s theme will be “The 13 Colonies” in honor of a certain national holiday, so come in your favorite 18^th century garb or dress as an early Americal author, and share your best costuming secrets! There may even be some role-playing, so sharpen your gaming skills, too. Some lightly used books and basic crafting supplies, including bookmarks and jewelry, will be available.

Please note, lighting at Carw Gwyn tends to be somewhat ‘atmospheric’, so bring supplemental lighting if required. The event is free to Carw Gwyn patrons. Dress for the occasion or simply come as you are! We look forward to seeing you at this inaugural Mead, Makers and Manuscripts event!
