At Green Hive, every one of our initiatives is rooted in environmental sustainability, community, and a passion for making Nairn and Nairnshire a better place for all.

Seaman's Hall: Our Community Hub

At the heart of Nairn is Seaman's Hall, our Community Hub

Seaman’s Hall serves as a vibrant and inclusive space for the entire community. It offers a welcoming environment for volunteers, local groups, and public events.

 

The Hall is also available for hire, hosting everything from fitness classes to private celebrations like weddings and parties, making it a central venue for connection and creativity.

Our workshop

Our mission is to divert single-use plastics, tools, and timber from landfills.

 

We do this by repurposing them into beautiful and functional items. In our workshop, waste materials are rediscovered, reformed, and reimagined into unique items - handmade & upcycled, by our skilled team of staff and volunteers.

Zero Waste Fabrics

Our extensive store of donated fabrics is a circular community resource providing a sustainable source of fabrics for sewers and crafters while reducing textile waste.

 

Fabric donations are welcomed, and all donated fabric is available for purchase for a suggested donation of £5/kg.

 

​It is possible to volunteer with the Zero Waste Fabric Project on a Thursday morning, where experienced and beginner sewers make unique and practical items in a friendly welcoming environment, showcasing our range of zero waste fabric.
