Hillpark Centre, Morrison Drive, Bannockburn, Stirling
Created in 2025, the Music Hive aims to establish a creative hub in Bannockburn, focused on providing free informal music making opportunities for children and young people aged 9-18.
Wednesdays during term time we are dedicated to the Music Hive where young people take over the Hillpark Centre to play, create, learn and discover music alongside a team of super friendly and experienced musicians and youth workers.
We’re open to all abilities from complete beginner to experienced musicians and singers, and you don’t need to read music or have an instrument to join in (but if you do, please bring your instrument along).
