Every Monday Evening our FOOD TASTES GOOD Club gather to bring, cook and share food together.

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.

Come along every Tuesday evening to potter around in our community garden.

Anything gardening related - you name it, we probably do it.

The talks will be every week throughout February and we'll be keeping it local and hearing from some expert growers from across Manchester. If you'd like to learn about growing vegetables in the middle of the city, how to start your own community garden or hear about some of the city's biggest urban greening transformations then please come along. All of the talks are free to attend, please share with your friends and colleagues, we'd love to see you there, from the Plant team. :)

All of the talks will be held on Wednesday evenings through February and at Altogether Otherwise clubhouse in Noma from 6pm to 8pm.

Join us for an inspiring evening with Dympna Gould, a Heritage Consultant and Manchester Tour Guide, as she shares the story of the National Trust site the Castlefield Viaduct, one of Manchester's most remarkable urban transformations. Dympna, who helped reopen the Viaduct in 2023, will discuss its journey from an iconic Victorian structure to a thriving “sky park.”

She’ll explore the Viaduct’s Victorian engineering origins, its transformation into a public green space, and the collaborative efforts that made it possible, including the volunteers and community partners involved. Dympna will also highlight the unique challenges of gardening at such heights, and how the design blends heritage with innovation.

Finally, learn about the future of the Viaduct and the National Trust’s new urban focus in connecting cities with green spaces. Come along to learn how you can get involved with the Castlefield Viaduct and discover how a piece of Manchester’s industrial past has blossomed into a symbol of urban renewal and community. 

In this weekly yoga club we'll be exploring all elements of Yoga from the physical practice & breath to meditation, philosophy & beyond.

All levels of experience are welcome.

Bring a mat & wear something comfy. Every week at Altogether Otherwise.
