Hive5 Studios is Wellington’s premier destination for creative and intellectual mastery. We believe that the discipline of Chess and the soul of Music are two sides of the same coin—both requiring focus, practice, and a community to call home.

​

From USCF-rated tournaments and tactical workshops to soulful jam sessions and private music instruction, we provide the space for players and performers of all ages to sharpen their minds and find their voice. At Hive5, we don’t just teach skills; we build a culture of creativity and competition.
