A SPECIAL community event is taking place tomorrow (Saturday) to celebrate The Hive’s fifth anniversary.

The family-friendly festivities include live music, food and drinks stalls, an exhibition and a baking competition.

Activities for children under five will begin at 10am, with children’s entertainers Jungle Jiggle and staff from the Hive will present a birthday themed imagination station.

Children can join in with storytelling, treasure hunts and crafts throughout the day at the library, in Sawmill Walk, Worcester.

The Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service will be hosting a behind the scenes tour of The Hive archives and collections, plus there will be an exhibition in taking visitors on a journey of The Hive’s achievements, successes and events since the opening in 2012.

Live music will take place throughout the day with performances from Vocal High junior and adult choir, and the Worcester Ukulele Club are playing from 1pm to 1.45pm.

Food and drinks stalls such as the Shake Shack, Oh My Gosh Cupcakes, Hill Top Farm pig roast, A Rule of Tum burgers, Pershore Brewery and Clive's Fruit Farm will be outside the front of The Hive.

Laura Worsfold, business development manager at the Hive, said: "In the five years since The Hive opened we have had over 4 million visits to the library. It has had a huge impact on people in and around Worcester, and the variety of visitors and new members has made The Hive what it is today.

"This event is to say thank you to all of the people who use The Hive and to showcase all of its fantastic features that have made it such a success."

For budding bakers, there is a Great Hive Cake-Off competition for both junior and senior contestants. Judging will begin at 3pm to see who has got what it ‘bakes’ to create a winning, show-stopping cake. The cakes must be entered between noon and 2pm.

Entry forms to take part in the contest can be downloaded from The Hive events page thehiveworcester.org/whats-on.
