If The Hive isn’t on your radar yet, it should be. It’s a new London-based event series uplifting FLINTA* creatives. Founded by musician Hunny, The Hive runs across two distinct formats, tapping into different sides of womanhood, queerness and creative expression.
The Hive at Doña
The first format takes over Doña, a female-owned mezcal bar in Stoke Newington. Expect an intimate night of live music, poetry, comedians and more – all rooted in connection and collaboration. Hunny explains: “Being a musician myself, there is a real focus on having the best sound quality for our musical acts, and I hire external equipment and an incredible sound engineer for the evening to elevate the audience and artist experience”.
The Hive at VFDalston
The second Hive night switches the energy. Hosted at VFDalston – a long-standing fixture of London’s queer arts scene – this one leans fully into queer joy, expression and release.

DJs, live music, drag, burlesque and striptease. The lineup prioritises POC performers and artists with lived experience of sex work, honouring the roots of these performance styles while keeping the night unapologetically fun.
