Public project

The Project is a multi-arts and heritage center that offers a variety of different art forms, such as music, theatre, dance and visual arts as well as a meadery and a mead & ale museum that focuses on the history and cultural significance of mead and ale. It incorporates the idea of a hive, which represents community involvement and collaboration, with the sweetness of honey, which is the main ingredient in mead. Mead and ale have a rich history dating back thousands of years, and they have played an important role in many cultures and traditions.

By showcasing the history and cultural importance of these beverages, the hive community can preserve and share this history with future generations. By celebrating the art and science of brewing, as well as the social and cultural aspects of drinking and sharing mead and ale while embracing and appreciating the artistic talents of the community, the hive community aims to bring the community and to inspire and encourage creativity in Caldicot which can improve the cultural identity and economic growth in the town.
