Party Like It’s 793: A Weekend of Mead, Heavy metal, and Viking Spirit
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to step back in time and celebrate like a true Norse reveler, our “Party Like It’s 793” event delivers exactly that, and then some.
Hosted in the outskirts of Milton, Delaware and brought to life with the incredible team at Brimming Horn Meadery, the weekend is a lively blend of history, community, heavy metal and just the right amount of mischief.
✶ A Viking & Metal-Inspired Experience Seven years ago, "Party Like It's 793" was started out of our love for the Nordic religion and Heavy Metal. This event is an ode to all of those rockin' warriors that laid waste to the monastery in Lindisfarne, England June 8th, 793. ✶ Mead, Beer, Cider, Wine & Merriment
Enjoy handcrafted mead, wines and ciders from Brimming Horn Meadery, fresh craft Beers from Bear Cult Brewing Co. and a lively atmosphere that encourages you to relax, raise a glass, and fully lean into the spirit of the weekend.✶ Community & Connection
Hosted in the heart of Milton and brought to life with Brimming Horn Meadery, this event brings people together in a way that feels natural, social, and genuinely fun.
✶ A Vendor Experience Worth Exploring
Step into a marketplace filled with unique finds, handcrafted goods, and one-of-a-kind pieces that you won’t see anywhere else. Every vendor brings something different to the table. From artisan creations to themed goods, it’s a collection built to fit the spirit of the event.✶ A Heavy Metal Fan’s Dream
Loud, high-energy, and built for true fans. This is the kind of night where the music hits hard, the crowd feels it, and the whole room moves together.tickets:

TBDFrequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, in fact kids under 17 are admitted free.
-
As much as we love our furry companions, we ask that you leave them at home for this one. The day tends to be quite hot, loud and lots of people. We don’t want them to get stressed out. Service dogs are most certainly welcome, we just ask that they have their vest on so others know they are working and not to be bothered.
-
We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear communication and reliable results. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart.

parking: yep, it gets it’s own section.
As a lot of you know, parking at the Brimming Horn can be a bit taxing. We’re hoping this year will be a little different. Thanks to the wonderful folks at the Sussex County Land Trust and Atlantic Transportaion we will have shuttled off-site parking….for free at Hudson Park (located on Cool Spring Rd.) We do ask that you please tip your driver since they’re are doing this as a big favor to us.
We will also have off-site parking at Cool Spring Presbyterian church right down the street from the bike path.
Handicapped parking will be located on-site at the meadery and will be marked as such, so please do not park there if you don’t have a handicap placard or license plate.
