Explanation:

Mead Halls were very prominent amongst the Germanic people in the past, a practice they took with them when they invaded the British Isles and became the dominant group.

Mead Halls were primarily a place of socialization and enjoyment where people came to drink and celebrate. Community meetings gatherings were also conducted here which allowed for battle strategies to be discussed here as well.

Children rightfully did not receive an education here.
