Long (ish) run, long ferment

For September & October, Altogether Otherwise's theme is moving and shaking.

So, to contribute to the celebration we thought how about we combine running & fermenting.

This is the plan.

Monday 15 September - gather at AO (spaces limited to 20) to kick off a kimchi then head out for a long-ish (10km run).

Monday 10 November - Return to AO with our now-matured kimchi, go for another long ish run, then join AO's Monday night cooking club to make a Kimchi-themed dinner.

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.

Mending used to be second nature - most homes had a tin of buttons, needles, and thread ready for repairs. Now, a missing button or worn-out sock often means the end of a garment.

Mending Club brings those lost skills back. It’s a friendly, free space to slow down, learn or practice mending, and share stories stitched into our clothes. Bring along the jeans you’ve worn to death, your moth-eaten jumper, or socks with holes - together we’ll give them new life.

No experience needed - whether you’re a seasoned stitcher or can’t thread a needle, you’re welcome. Every other Tuesday at Altogether Otherwise, we gather to darn, patch, stitch, and mend. Tools and materials are provided, and inspiration is always on hand.

Expect a casual social environment where we can share what we’re currently working on, ask for advice and chat. We’re all about sharing knowledge and skills, so if you’re not sure how to go about a particular mend, feel free to ask! If you don’t have access to all the supplies you might need, a range of needles and materials will be supplied. If you’re not sure what you may need for a particular mend, check out the @manchestermendingclub Instagram for more inspiration.
