Manchester’s growing neighbourhood, NOMA, is launching a new concept, Altogether Otherwise, offering an exciting free-to-attend calendar of workshops and events.
Altogether Otherwise is a ‘hobby house’ providing welcome relief from the fast paced, demanding culture that we’ve all become so used to. It’s a place to pursue creativity and explore new activities whilst bumping into like-minded people in an ever-changing workshop, store and gathering spaces.
A former disused printing house on Hanover Street in NOMA has been transformed into 6,500 sq. ft. community space which will be open daily to the public. Visitors can step straight off the pavement in to a welcoming, front-of-house shop or through into a large workshop offering endless possibilities for making and meeting. There will also be a larger, ‘village hall’ style space, which will host participatory events and activities.
Participants can try their hand at a range of activities including cooking, wood whittling, gardening, join a club or even start their own, with something happening every day of the week. In line with the neighbourhood approach, locals are welcomed to pitch an idea or start their own club, to bring the community together.
