Altogether Otherwise is home to a huge array of clubs that anyone can join. From wool weaving to gardening to cooking to pottery – and best of all, they’re free.

Step inside and you’ll find different rooms and spaces that are constantly evolving to keep things interesting. It’s a melting pot for ideas, creativity, making things and meeting folk. You can even start your own club.

But the important thing about Altogether Otherwise is they believe in DIY, shared endeavour and, importantly, fun. And there’s plenty of that to be had.
