The Hive at Moss Bank Park

Based within Bolton’s iconic Moss Bank Park, The Hive offers a unique space, made up of a series of gardens adorned with natural play equipment.

Designed with pre-schoolers and the under seven’s in mind, The Hive encourages young people to make lasting connections with nature through creative play. The Hive has self-led play activities to inspire young minds, including water play, musical fun in our sound garden, bug hunting, den building, plus our mud kitchen.

As we are now heading quickly towards winter, it's time to temporarily close our season and day pass offer at The Hive. This means the site won't be open Thursday - Saturday throughout the winter months for you to explore at your free will.

However, there's no need to worry! We will still be hosting a selection of interactive events throughout this period, including our ever popular Christmas schedule. 

Events  

Thank you for all your support over the summer, we hope to see you all at The Hive again soon!
