The New Standard Works really is a Hive of activity during the week. In The Hive on the ground floor we have a thriving organic Café & Bakery, quirky and creative Heritage Room, Makers Studio and Exhibition Spaces. On the upper floors is Argent College,operated by Ruskin Mill Trust, a specialist educational college for young people with learning differences who are mastering a range of traditional crafts and employability skills throughout the whole building.
The Hive is open during the week and we run a monthly Saturday events programme related to enterprise, craft and heritage; designed to bring people together to be sociable as well as creative.
There is something for everyone. Everyone is welcome to enjoy our building.
