Hobbies and Crafts Society

 

Hello and welcome to the Hobbies and Crafts Society! A warm and cosy place, away from the academic pressure, where students can sip tea, make friends and create. If you have always wanted to explore different mediums of craft, but have not had the time or resources for it, then we have the society just for you.

 

We will be holding both long-term sessions, along with more casual art-centred socials. Whether it's crochet, origami, or pottery - the sky is the limit on what we can do. We also wanted to ensure that the voices of our members are always included, and so we will be hosting democratic votes on most of our activities, in addition to providing more cultural and socially sensitive events.

 

Just a reminder, that our members' well-being is our utmost priority, so feel free to contact us regarding any concerns you may have, and we will try to respond as best as we can.

Want to create your own society?

Had a search through all our societies and can’t find the one you’re looking for? Why not set it up yourself! 

It’s really easy and we’re here to support you throughout.

Frequently asked questions

Some societies are free to join, whilst others may have a small fee of around £5 to £10 for the whole year.

Your joining fees are then used to cover the running of the society (sometimes there’ll be extra costs if the society offers classes, special events or trips). 

Any questions? Drop the society a message or speak to us.

Current Manchester Met students are welcome to join our societies all year round.

Freshers Fair is a particularly great opportunity for you to meet and join our societies in person. 

For existing societies, committee members are chosen by members of the society through an online election. Elections take place in March ready for the upcoming academic year, and the role of committee member runs from July to June. 

For new societies, the founding members choose their committee to get started.

Fill out this booking form, giving at least one week’s notice to ensure the room is secured. You can request any bookable space in The Union or the University, but first make sure to check the building’s opening hours.

You should definitely wait for confirmation of your booking before spreading the word to your society members.
