MAYBE I'LL MEND
2026-02-10 18:00 - 20:00, 2026-01-27 18:00 - 20:00, 2026-01-13 18:00 - 20:00 | Altogether Otherwise, 6-10 Hanover Street, NOMA,, Manchester, M4 4BB, United Kingdom
A mending club open to all skill levels. Bring an item of clothing that needs some TLC and any sewing supplies you may have!

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.

Plant Co-operative is running a series of talks funded by Manchester City Council all about urban growing.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.
////////////////////////////////////////
Mike, the head of growing and volunteering, from Platt Fields Market Garden is joining us for an evening talk to share a bit about this unique urban market garden and community hub. Platt Fields is a busy market garden producing over a tonne of food a year on just half an acre of land, feeding the volunteers, visitors and catering across the city. All of the food is grown organically by Mike and a huge number of volunteers in what was once a disused bowling green in the middle of Fallowfield.
Mike will cover the history of how the garden came to be and how it was transformed into the green haven it is today. So if you’ve ever wondered how you could start your own community garden on your patch now’s the time to find out.
There’s so many ways to get involved with Platt Fields Market Garden and Mike will be telling us about all that the garden has to offer the community, from clubs, courses and workshops to festivals and markets. We look forward to seeing you there, the Plant team.
