The Full Story
About Us
The Crafty Hive opened November 2025 at 11 Silver Street BOA. Run by a group of dedicated volunteers, The Crafty Hive is a buzzing hub of creativity and community in Bradford on Avon, bringing together three inspiring strands:
Bee Creative
Fundraising through reusing
Our charitable arm, Bee Creative, gives new life to donated haberdashery, fabrics, art supplies, and more. These items are repackaged and sold affordably, with 70% of every sale returned to the community by supporting local charities and good causes. It’s creativity with a purpose —
turning generosity into positive change.
Everyone can do their bit to help, either by
donating, sorting and purchasing items.
Help us to help each other.
Bespoke handmade items
Made in Bradford on Avon
The Crafty Hive is fortunate to be able to host an amazing
array of local artists and makers who showcase their
work through our community space.
If you are looking for unique gifts or just want to
treate yourself, then please pop in.
We welcome monthly makers as well as featured creators,
giving you the opportunity to constantly discover new products.
Individual commissions available on request.
The Creative Community Snug
The Snug is a welcoming space where people can come together to support one another through fundraising events, organising workshops, hosting private meetings or just having a cup of tea with friends.
We hold regular mini makers' markets, drop in craft sessions, sorting out donation days as well as hire the space to individuals to enable them to share their creative skills.
If you want to get involved with a friendly group of people,
then this is the place to be.
