The Hive is the name of the Community Centre that opened in Whitehouse in September 2024
What does it have?
- Main hall (estimated capacity for 120 seated or 200 standing),
- Meeting Room (capacity for 8 seated or 20 standing)
- Enclosed Courtyard
- Kitchen
- Toilets (male, female & disabled access)
- Community Council office
- Car parking (capacity for 74 cars)
- Electric vehicle charging points (coming soon)
Why is it called that?
We ran a competition and asked residents to suggest names. We selected this as the winning entry as we feel it embodies the hive of activity that we expect it to become! Whitehouse resident Maria Farrell proposed the winning entry.
Who can book it?
As a facility for the community, we have set our pricing to offer the best value for local community groups.
Community Groups: Groups which are open to anyone in the community. These may be free, or you may charge people to attend. (e.g. fitness groups, martial arts, art & crafts class)
Private Hire: Bookings by an individual which are not open to the public (e.g. wedding, birthday party, family gathering)
Commercial: Bookings by a company that are not open to the public (e.g. conference, training, team meeting)
