Community Hive

 Community Hive CIC is based on the same floor as the Hive Gallery but right at the rear of the store near the Entertainer Toy Shop. Comprising of a smaller front gallery – Gallery B – and a much larger gallery space behind – Community Hive Exhibition Space – there is also a dedicated workshop space between the two. With seating for up to 14 people and ample storage space, this is constantly being used by different community groups and students.

These three spaces provide flexible accommodation for many different types of shows and activities having been used up to now as –

· Exhibition space for University of Greater Manchester tutor and student art work

· A venue for artists’ talks and educational debates

· Display space for a major Bolton primary schools’ art-work show containing over 700 pieces of work from multiple schools

· A conference venue

· A rehearsal space for a film production

· An exercise and dance studio.

All 3 spaces are available to book at low prices designed not to make profit but just to cover the cost of the utilities and keep them well equipped. Community Hive is run by a team of volunteer members and other helpers who support us as and when needed throughout the year.
