The Hive

The Hive

 

The Hive 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)
  • Whitehouse Community Council office
  • Car parking (capacity for 74 cars)
  • Electric vehicle charging points (coming soon)

Why is it called that?  We ran a naming competition and local resident, Maria Farrell proposed the winning entry. We felt that the name embodied the hive of activity that we expected it to become!

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 that 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, conference)

How much will it cost to book?  You can book our meeting room, the community hall, or the whole building.
