Activities
The Beehive Centre is a welcoming space for all.
With our regular activities, we aim to reduce isolation and loneliness in our community. We hope to help people feel more connected and involved within their community by offering a wide range of free/low cost activities, for mixed age ranges and abilities, that promote health and well-being.
Unless stated otherwise, all of our events and activities are drop-in, so there is no need to pre-book - just come along, meet some new people & have fun!
