Charity event Hive Aid is taking place at The Hive, Shrewsbury on Sunday 25 May.

Arts and wellbeing charity The Hive has supported and served their community for over 19 years, engaging almost 50,000 children and young people, many which face complex challenges. This respected local charity, which has been the seedbed for many young people to pursue careers and interests within the creative industries, launched a campaign last summer to raise funds and stay operational.

The community continues to support The Hive, and at the end of May a folk event with a difference will raise funds for the venue. A complete mini one day folk festival - there will be dance workshops, Breton and British, workshops in songwriting, poetry, plus children's entertainment and two live music concerts.

The line-up includes folk legend Keith Donnelly, plus Shrewsbury's own, Jessie Reid. In addition to a bumper line-up, there will be food stalls, Morris dancing and revelry.

Hive Aid will take place from 10am to 11pm on the street outside The Hive at 5 Belmont as well as in the venue. Activities are ticketed. Tickets are £15. To book please visit hiveonline.org.uk
