SOLEBURY TOWNSHIP, PA — Haven, a brand new coffee and arts venue, is opening its doors at 1680 Aquetong Road in New Hope.

Located at Thompson Memorial Presbyterian Church, Haven was born out of a desire to create a safe performing and gathering space for artists in and around New Hope, particularly those whose creative voices often get suppressed in the wider world.

Haven believes that “everyone needs a safe space” now more than ever.
