Natural play for families
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.
