        WAVY WOOL CLUB
        Free
        A friendly workshop making objects using surplus wool collected from farms in the North West of England. Spinning, felting and bookbinding!

        Wavy Wool Club is back on 24th September at Altogether Otherwise.


        Wavy Wool Club is an open, free-to-join space that connects farmers and creatives through wool. We gather every other Wednesday at Altogether Otherwise to spin, felt, card, and work with fleece that would otherwise go to waste. It’s a place to relax, learn new skills, and share stories about farming, craft, and the environment.


        For this special series, we’ll follow the journey of wool from fleece to fabric. A sheep farmer will bring a raw fleece directly from their flock, and together we’ll work through each stage of its transformation. Over several sessions, we’ll learn to skirt, wash, card, and spin the fibres, with the chance to experiment along the way. By the end, we’ll have created our own small pieces of handmade woollen fabric, part craft, part conversation - a celebration of this undervalued, magical material.


        No experience needed, just curiosity. Come for one session or follow the whole process from start to finish.


        Altogether Otherwise is a place where things always happen—where making, doing, and shared endeavour are all part of the fun. We run workshops, create things, and keep the Hobby House buzzing with activity. No end goals, no pressure, just a space to tinker, try, and enjoy the simple joy of doing.

        Wildlife Gardening Club “Build a Bird Box with RSPB”
        Free
        Join us for the final Wildlife Gardening Club of 2025.

        For the final WGC session of the year we’re delighted to be joined by the RSPB and Easy Come, Easy Grow to help guide us through the construction of our very own bird boxes to take home, whilst offering up some tips and tricks on urban birding as we go.

        The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is a UK charity dedicated to conserving birds and nature. It was founded in 1889 and is one of the world's largest nature conservation charities. The RSPB works to protect habitats, restore ecosystems, and save species from extinction through various initiatives and campaigns.

        Easy Come, Easy Grow are a community organisation based in Newton Heath and part of the Nature Neighbourhoods campaign. From mapping existing and potential green areas to establishing a nature hub at Newton Heath Library to running community conversation events, they’ll be taking a practical lead on the construction of our bird boxes.

        This event is free to attend but booking is recommend.

        MAKESHIFT BICYCLE CLUB
        Free
        No Lycra, no pressure. Just bikes, friends, and a ride that’s actually fun.

        Some of these pursuits belong to childhood and don’t translate easily into the adult world, but we believe experimentation, open-ended collaboration and fun should still be altogether attainable, otherwise, what’s the point? It’s very early days for MAKESHIFT BICYCLE CLUB, but here are our founding principles:

        NO PAIN AND NO GAIN An aimless bike club built on fun. Encouraging you to AIM-LESS and enjoy more.

        REFRESHINGLY LOW TECH If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it. We’ll teach each other the basics.

        BIKES THROUGH THE WIDEST POSSIBLE LENS As likely to make a trifle as we are to cycle. Always bike-related, but rarely in the way you expect.

        YIN YOGA
        Free
        We will work with the energy of the full moon through meditation, yin yoga and guided journaling. With Yoga Club - In Present Company.

        We will work with the energy of the full moon through meditation, yin yoga and guided journaling, calling in everything we want to manifest for the next lunar month and releasing anything we wish to leave behind.


        What is Yin Yoga

        In a Yin practice, we hold each pose for between 1-5 minutes, allowing the body time and space to open softly. Yin is a practice of yielding, allowing and nourishing; slowing down and being with sensation. Yin Yoga is simple, but simple does not mean easy.


        While a vinyasa practice works with our muscular ‘yang’ structures, Yin works in a more subtle realm. Accessing the deeper tissues and networks of the body.


        This class is a chance to hold and be held. All levels are welcome.


        What to bring

        Wear the comfiest clothes you have, pyjamas are welcome (and encouraged).

        Bring layers or a blanket to help you feel cocooned.

        A journal or paper & a pen

        Any other special items, like crystals or treasured things


        All ticket charges will go towards buying eqipment for the class. Our regular classes are every Thursday at 6pm, with In Present Company.
