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 will be open for our 2024 season from 3rd April until 8th November, available for you to explore every week from Wednesday to Sunday, 10am-3pm (last entry at 2pm). 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.
The Hive is currently closed for the Winter and will re-open again in April.
