All in Community

Soiree this way!

For an interesting night out, Portswood High Street always delivers. On the evening of Thursday 9th May, amidst the usual fried chicken, hotpot and craft beer, and alongside some mild fisticuffs (not ours) and a Rolls Royce (not ours), October Books hosted a relaxed soirée to launch the shop’s new look.

Why we make things and Why it Matters

You may have noticed that we have been running a series of ‘We can learn to…’ workshops this year. This is in response to listening customers and those attending events. The purposes are to learn new skills from people in our community, have new experiences and meet with others. The workshops are also in a response to us living in times when so much is made for us and is mass produced. We do n’t really need to make anything, perhaps a cake or two sometimes.
