The Hive

Description

Worcestershire County Council and the University of Worcester worked together to create a new multi-million pound city centre library, history and customer centre for students and the public. The two organisations, along with the support of Worcester City Council and Advantage West Midlands, realised the opportunity of creating a combined facility for the whole community to use, and the project has developed into one of the most exciting new libraries in Europe.

The Hive is Europe's first joint university and public library. It houses one of the country’s largest children’s libraries, as well as Worcestershire Archive & Archaeology service, a business centre, meeting rooms, study areas, a studio theatre and a café.

Impress your customers and colleagues by hosting meetings in the county's most iconic and innovative landmark building.

The Hive has eight meeting rooms, as well as a 50 seater studio perfect for conferences or large presentations.

Our range of meeting rooms  are available to hire for use by businesses, community groups and the general public.  

The meeting rooms vary in size with the larger ones fully fitted with the latest AV, which is available at no extra cost.

On site support is included to help ensure no technical gremlins get in the way.

Full day room booking rates from £115.50 inc VAT.

Non profit making business room rates also available.
