DO NOTHING CLUB
Sit quietly for 45 minutes. No phones, no pressure, no breakthroughs. Just boredom.
No breathing techniques.
No new ways of sitting.
No subtle manoeuvres.
Nothing.
Meeting in silence isnât a new idea. But we arenât sitting for mindfulness, or for art, or for spiritual improvement. Weâre just sitting. Itâs going to be boring. A little boredom is good for you - and itâs increasingly hard to come by.
Weâll sit down.
A couple of minutes to arrive.
Phones off.
Weâll sit quietly for 45 minutes. If you need to leave, you can. No pressure. At the end, thereâs no debrief. No revelations. You just get up and carry on with your day.
Hope thatâs OK with you.

You can do as much or as little of the physical & other practices as you feel on the day. Even if you choose to just sit and breathe with us, you are so welcome & that is definitely still yoga.

Learn the fundamentals of machine knitting and make your own lambswool necktie in this beginner friendly workshop with Coyle Studio.
Coyle Studio is an independent knitwear brand founded by Izzy Coyle. With a focus on craftsmanship and conscious design, each piece is created in her Manchester-based studio using deadstock or locally sourced yarns. Her practise is a celebration of colour, process, and thoughtful making.
In the workshop we will cover: threading up the machine, casting on, knitting a row, adding in different colours, increasing + decreasing and casting off. We will then use all the skills you have just learnt to knit your own necktie in a colour of your choosing.
Youâll leave with a portfolio of samples showcasing the skills you have learnt, a finished necktie ready to wear and the foundations of machine knitting to build on further.
No need to bring anything with you - all equipment and materials will be provided. No previous knitting experience is required!
Start time: 10am
Workshop duration: 5-6 hours including a lunch break

MAYBE ON THE MOORS #2
Mark-making walks on the moors, every Sunday afternoon in May led by artist and PhD researcher Neil Greenhalgh.
Holcombe Moor is a wilderness punctuated with artefacts, stories, and lore. MAY BE ON THE MOORS is a new collaborative project that delves into the particularities of this landscape through walking, mark-making, and co-creating with more-than-human energies.
Building upon what THE FINAL FRIDAYS begun, this project continues to define the emerging practice of Geohauntography: An hauntology of place.
We will meet whatever the weather. Prepare for quite a long walk in challenging terrain with no amenities. All art materials will be provided. No previous experience or artistic ability is required.
The walk might not end exactly at 5pm. Could be earlier or slightly later.
We will end at the local pub The Shoulder of Mutton, for a post walk debrief.
Important Information:
All work will be contributing to PhD research and a co-created exhibition at Altogether Otherwise in July.
Please be aware there will be some video recording as a part of the walk.
