The Beehive Dover
We are OPEN: Tues-Sat | 10am-5pm | Stembrook, Dover, CT16 1PF
The Beehive is a women’s second-hand clothing boutique and café in the heart of Dover, but we are much more than that.
We work with local services across the town to offer free clothing and support to women.
The Beehive exists for the simple aim of creating space to thrive, and we can’t wait to be a presence in Dover’s town centre.

About
The Beehive began in Ashford in 2017 as a pop-up shop, and since then has become a permanent, successful (and award winning) business with a heart in Ashford’s town-centre. Laura (Senior Pastor of Dover Vineyard) caught the vision, and knew that Dover needed a Beehive!
After spending 9 months interning at The Beehive Ashford, learning everything she could about running a Beehive, she (with a team) have taken on the challenge of setting up The Beehive Dover, as part of The Beehive Network Franchise.
The Beehive Dover will be opening its doors in November 2023 at the old Roman Quay Pub, as a shop, café and community space, for both paying customers as well as launching a referral system for women to receive clothing and support for free.
We can’t wait to be a permanent feature in Dover, and welcome you through the doors! For a flavour of what’s to come, check out The Beehive Ashford- www.beehiveashford.com or get in touch: beehive@dovervineyard.church

All our our clothes are loving donated from the community; for the community. If you have high quality women’s clothing and would like to donate your clothes to us, we’d be so grateful. Get in touch at: beehive@dovervineyard.church and we’ll arrange the best time and way to get them to us.
If you’d like to donate financially to The Beehive, we’d be so grateful. You can give financially via this easy giving form. Every penny that you give will go straight into The Beehive, and supporting women in our town.
If you are a tax payer, we can claim gift aid on both physical donations of clothes, and financial donations, at no extra cost to you. Please let us know if we’re able to claim gift aid on your kind donation, all we’ll need are a few contact details and then we’ll do the rest!
Referrals
As soon as we’re open, we’ll be taking referrals.
Whether you’re a local service: social services; family liaison; church or charity; if you know someone who needs our help, or you yourself are looking for support, we will be accepting referrals/self-referrals from anyone.
We know that there are a massive range of reasons that someone may need our help, and our heart is one of generosity. Which is why our support is not means-tested. If you would like more information about referring or being referred to The Beehive get in touch: beehive@dovervineyard.church, we’d love to hear from you.
