Altogether Otherwise!
Altogether Otherwise is a hobby house. A place that celebrates the sheer restorative joy of doing things for fun. They specialise in aimless pursuits that will help you to lose track of time – a place to pursue creativity and explore new activities whilst bumping into like-minded people in an ever changing workshop, store and gathering spaces.
This is the latest venture for creative urbanist Ben Young, and a culmination of 10 years driving a participatory neighbourhood-led approach at NOMA which includes ‘the pub that Manchester built’, the Old Bank Residency and city gardening project Plant. A former disused printing house on Hanover Street has been transformed into 6,500 sq ft community space which is now open daily to the public. There will also be a larger, ‘village hall’ style space, which hosting participatory events and activities.
Participants can try their hand at a range of activities including cooking, wood whittling or gardening, join a club or even start their own, with something happening every day of the week. The space will also be home to some of the city’s most exciting pop ups, such as the recent Stussy Archive Sale hosted at Altogether Otherwise in May, giving customers the chance to purchase limited edition pieces and brand collaborations from the renowned skate brand.
