Good food, good company, and a warm welcome every time.
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.

This event will feature a short reading, group discussion and a writing workshop focused on the theme of intimacy in fiction, life-writing and hybrid forms.
Caroline Magennis, author of Harpy: A Manifesto for Childfree Women (Icon 2024) and Northern Irish Writing After the Troubles: Intimacies, Affects, Pleasures (Bloomsbury 2021) will lead a discussion on this concept and how it has figured in her work - from the small moments of care and connection she has observed in contemporary Irish fiction through to the glimpses of intimacy in her memoir-writing. Intimacy can be anything from a hand on the shoulder, a glance from a friend in a crowded room or the complications of our romantic and/or sexual relationships. We will be inspired by each other's experiences, cultural references and understanding to write and hold short intimate moments, whether fictional or drawn from life. All participants need to do is bring something to write with, and think beforehand about what intimacy means to them.

Urban spaces are often overlooked as places to investigate functioning ecosystems but take a closer look and you might just be surprised at what you findâŚ
Myco Manchester are an ecological workers' cooperative dedicated to building better relationships with fungi and will be our guides for this weeks session.
Weâll be heading out into the gardens and our local woodland to ask questions about what woodland plants and fungi can tell us about their environment; are they indicators of ancient woodland, how do people and animals use the space, and what can they tell us about the soil?This event is free to attend but booking is recommend.
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.

Are you keen to support bees, butterflies and other pollinators but not sure where to start? Join Gary, Garden Supervisor at Plant Co-operative, for a practical and inspiring workshop designed to help you transform your outdoor space into a haven for pollinators.
Learn which plants to cultivate to provide pollen and nectar for insects all year round and find out more about the kinds of habitats that will encourage pollinators to visit and make their homes in your outdoor space.
From native wildflowers to cottage garden favourites, Gary will talk through some of his favourite plants that are a magnet for urban pollinators.
