This site - http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/beowulf/context.html - give you a description of a mead hall and its significance in that society. Check the total site for more complete information.
"Mead-halls such as Heorot in Beowulf were places where warriors would gather in the presence of their lord to drink, boast, tell stories, and receive gifts. Although these mead-halls offered sanctuary, the early Middle Ages were a dangerous time, and the paranoid sense of foreboding and doom that runs throughout Beowulf evidences the constant fear of invasion that plagued Scandinavian society."
