Introducing Word Honey: A Decade of Hive….

“Hive isn’t about producing a single type of writer or a single definition of success. It’s about people finding their own path. A true arts ecology.” Ian McMillan

We’re delighted to have received Arts Council Project Grant funding to support Word Honey, a year-long project running from autumn 2026, celebrating a decade of Hive Young Writers’ Network and inspiring what comes next.

Drawing inspiration from ten years of young writers’ creative journeys, stories and achievements, Word Honey will bring together a buzz of writing-related opportunities and happenings, from workshops and competitions to events and writing programmes. There’ll be interviews with Hive alumni and practising writers, sharing inspiration and tips, alongside stories, snapshots and successes from a vibrant decade of writing, and the communities, voices and journeys that have grown through it… all while helping a new generation of young writers find their voice and flourish.

Keep an eye on our website and socials to see what’s happening!
