Welcome to...

In Knaresborough, North Yorkshire

On a mission to Inspire, Demonstrate, Educate & Activate a local & thriving wellbeing economy.

Tucked away on Butter Lane, just off Knaresborough's Market Square, the HIVE is a place for us to come together and take the steps on our personal and collective journey towards a regenerative future full of possibilities & opportunities.

To help us on our way, the HIVE offers a tiny cafe space, a mini marketplace (shop) and co-working space for fellow ecopreneurs.

The HIVE in Knaresborough is open

Fridays & Saturdays from 10am-2pm.

The aim of the HIVE is to provide a welcoming space for you to:

learn and share local and regional solutions (products & services);
the ways you might adopt 'wellbeing economy' principles into your home & lifestyle;
to explore an idea you might have for a solution you could promote or offer through our HIVE as a change maker or ecopreneur;
And, bring the kids to explore their creativity and ecopreneur skills of the future.
What can we do in our own lives to really make a difference?
What local initiatives are happening to prepare our community for a resilient & greener future?
What alternatives are there to convenient ultra-processed food and fast fashion locally?
Workshops for kids to take part in fun eco-entrepreneurial activities.

Pop in to learn more and to try our coffee in an edible cup!
