The Beehive’s mission is to create a vibrant and inclusive community hub, dedicated to providing a diverse range of activities which cater to the unique interests of all our clientele, within an environment that is always friendly and welcoming.

In order for us to continue with our mission in providing events, cinema screenings and activities to the public, we need your help to raise funds for new equipment!

About our Crowdfunder: NEW CINEMA PROJECTOR

The Beehive is currently crowdfunding for a new projector for all of our cinema screenings and live events that require the cinematic projector in our auditorium.

Crowdfunding target: £30,000.

Our current projector is 10 years old and we have screened over 800 shows! It's time to get it updated. The new projector will cost in the region of £30,000. 

The Beehive needs your help to fund a new projector. Upgrading our equipment will ensure a future of high-quality screenings that will continue to engage, educate, entertain and bring our community together.  

We hope through the generosity of our community and visitors we can raise enough money to achieve this target. 

If you are able to donate, we would really appreciate your support. You can donate any amount, big or small, from £1 to larger amounts. Every penny will help us reach our target!

As a registered charity, The Beehive Honiton can claim an additional 25% on eligible donations through Gift Aid, at no extra cost to UK taxpayers.

Thank you.
