For details of when the cafe is open, you can visit the Hive Cafe website.

The Hive can be found in the stunning Victorian House, situated in Oakland’s Park. The café has been built into the house’s original drawing room where the sunshine floods in through floor to ceiling windows throughout the day, allowing for breathtaking views of the surrounding park and Rose Gardens. This has all been made possible by the HLF funding of our redevelopment project.
