The Beehouse works closely with the local community in Powys and Shropshire to provide a number of community music services. Our intention is to enhance the quality of music in the community supported by the success of the commercial and professional services we offer. We also periodically provide employment and work experiences locally.

Events planned for next year will take place at the Workhouse in Llanfyllin, in Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Cardiff, Swansea, Birmingham and Manchester.

Community Recording Rates

The Beehouse has currently dispensed with its Community Rate and will be applying the same rates universally. However we are open to negotiations over projects on a case by case basis. We trust our clientele will find this a more equitable way of offering our professional services. We would ask those wishing to negotiate a reduced rate to write to us formally in the first instance proposing the rate they wish to pay. We will then be able to either accept or reject their proposal.

The Beehouse Open Mic

Unfortunately, the Beehouse Open Mic which was a regular event which has been run by the Beehouse since 2012 has been put on hold as we cannot operate it without some physical help for setup.

Providing a great sounding and professionally controlled PA, the Open Mic invited members of the public to come and perform live at the Workhouse. You could sing, play instruments, read poems, or just be an audience member. It was free to get in, and advertised twice monthly from our Beehouse Artists Facebook page All proceeds from the bar went to the Llanfyllin Dolydd Building Preservation Trust.
For more details go to our Beehouse Open Mic page.

Work Placements

The Beehouse has a tradition of providing interesting work placements for students, and with our new facility, this may become more likely and possible. Applications are welcomed from students interested in specialising in Media Studies, Business Studies and Administration, Journalism, and also ....Music! Please enquire through our contact page.

Here is an example of a music project carried out at the Beehouse by a work experience student with a specialist interest.

Charity Events

The Beehouse occasionally provides assistance for worthy causes. You are welcome to enquire about this, although it is often difficult for us to provide services totally freely, simply because of the volume of enquiries. Here are some examples of how we may be able to help:

Community Radio

Radio Beehouse is the radio station we are hoping to use to broadcast materials recorded at the Beehouse, in conjunction with a variety of genres. We are always looking for new material to play on our station, and for DJs willing to present shows. The station is at its formative stages at the moment but will be available for advertising purposes when up and running. You can follow developments and communicate with us on our radio blog at this link once we're up and running.
