Taking Part

East Devon has a rich network of cultural organisations and community groups, many of whom make regular use of The Beehive.

We work with performing arts partner organisations such as East Devon Dance Academy, Theatre Kidz, Honiton Town Band, Honiton Community Theatre Company and instrumental music teachers who help nurture local talent. We offer education in science, the arts and literature through our partnerships with the University of the Third Age, The Arts Society Honiton, IntoFilm festival and Honiton Festival of Imagination.

We also host monthly Acoustic open mic nights and Beehive Folk Café which attracts musicians from across East Devon, West Dorset and South Somerset. It offers opportunities for participation, enjoyment, achievement, networking and develops opportunities to support larger music acts in gigs at The Beehive.

We offer a monthly Bee Social Lunch Club, where guests gather around a communal table to enjoy a homemade two-course lunch. The aim is to create a warm, welcoming space that helps reduce loneliness by encouraging conversation and connection, giving people the chance to meet new friends over a relaxed shared meal.

We programme Visual Arts exhibitions in the Beehive gallery which champion the work of high-quality semi-professional and professionals in the South-West. In addition, we exhibit work from Charities, Schools, Colleges, Arts Organisations and Health & Well-being groups. To find out more about our Visual Arts exhibitions, click here.
