"I’m thrilled to support Hive Youth, it’s brilliant and the kids love working with Adam and the team"
Julie Hesmondhalgh
Coronation Street & Broadchurch
We develop the skills of our students in a variety of areas not exclusive to performance – we work as a company and teach that everyone has a role to play, whether backstage, onstage, on camera or behind the camera.
We recognise that every child has unique needs, qualities and interests and we aim to inspire their creativity, improve self-esteem, and develop important life skills.
Past students have gone on to join the National Youth Theatre, the Royal Exchange and work on CBeebies, BBC Radio and ITV's hit soap Coronation Street.
All of our teachers are DBS checked, trained arts teachers and industry professionals from the stage and screen, giving students invaluable insight and experience.
My son is on the pathway for both ADHD and Autism and has potential issues following instructions. Hive Youth Theatre is the first extra-curricular activity he has agreed to try. Thank you!
It's a wonderful place for children of all abilities. All children are made to feel special and it gives them confidence in their own abilities.
My daughter loves it. It can be quite difficult to get her involved in outside activities so whatever they are doing at Hive Youth, they are
doing it brilliantly
