Community Complex

As a result of many years’ work the Town Council is now in the process of delivering with its partners a modern, purpose-built centre for community, social, arts and business use at the centre of the town.


SW Elevation

The Beehive is to be built on part of the current site of the Dowell Street car park and comprises a two storey building offering a modern purpose-built venue that includes a central hall with a seating capacity of 300. In addition there will be a number of smaller rooms for hire together with a cafe/bar area to support performances and also to be used for community events.

If you would like to be involved in fundraising or any other support for the Beehive, please contact the Town Clerk on 01404 42957.
