If you’re anything like me, you probably only find out about cool local events in Basildon after they’ve happened… usually via someone’s smug Instagram post. That used to be me too. Constantly missing out because I didn’t have time to scroll through 37 badly organised event pages.

So I made Basildon Hive… a totally free, no-paywall, no-“upgrade to unlock this paragraph” newsletter that keeps you in the loop with everything happening in and around Basildon. Events for families? Got it. Local jobs and apprenticeships? Yes. Business networking events where you get to meet other local businesses? Absolutely. Hidden beauty spots within and around the borough to escape it all? We’ve got you.

Delivered once a week in a quick 5-minute read, it’s perfect for people who are busy, searching, or just nosey.

This is a one-person operation… no big media company, no corporate overlords, no AI bot named Gary writing this. Just me, a real human who lives locally and wants to make sure you don’t miss the good stuff happening on your doorstep.

You can find me on Instagram or send an email to hello@basildonhive.co.uk. I’m always happy to chat, swap local tips, or debate the best sausage roll in Essex over coffee.
