With the Game of Thrones season winding to its conclusion, the need for a medieval fix could get much harder to meet. Best to stock up on swords, merry men, ladies in waiting, mead and chainmail this weekend at the annual Mutton and Mead Festival. Before the fest, you can catch a contingent of the cast and performers in downtown Turners Falls.

Mutton and Mead: June 21-22, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., $15/general, $10/ seniors and kids, free/kids 5 and under, 210 Turners Falls Rd., Montague, muttonandmead.org.
