A purpose built centre with a 300 seat auditorium, a venue for music, theatre, comedy, dance and cinema as well as having space for exhibitions, workshops and community activities.

The long-standing wish of the people of Honiton and Honiton Town Council to have a local Arts and Community Centre became reality when, in early 2014, Honiton Town Council completed £1.8m construction of a community venue. This became known as The Beehive.

Following a final vote at the Honiton Town Council Meeting on Tuesday 10th March 2015, the Council and Honiton Community Complex company signed a 10-year Lease and Service Level Agreement.

Honiton Community Complex , (Registered Charity number 1162412), was established to help realise the public wish and to support the building, equipping and ongoing operation of The Beehive. It plays a vital role in the continuing development and success of The Beehive and helps ensure long-term viability.
