Only for you: Bespoke workshops
Want to do something unusual for an event or party?
Rubbish Revamped can run any combination of workshops exclusively for you and your friends or colleagues – as well as for children and young people – at your place or ours.

In 2009 we helped people revamp rubbish into amazing crafts at these events:
  • Chorlton Big Green festival
  • Friends of Longford Park 'Green Up' day
  • Celebrate Whalley Range festival
  • Manchester City Council's Future Fest
  • Sale Kite festival
  • Ramsbottom Rhythm and Blues Festival
  • Communities 4 Change
  • Oxjam in Beech Road Park, Chorlton
  • Tameside Council's Credit Crunch Christmas Fair

    • festival

    So far in 2010 ...
    The Knit and Natter group in Sale made beautiful petal hangings and little boxes from their saved Christmas cards.

    Swappers at Chorlton's Happy Returns Swap Party also revamped their Christmas cards and younger children turned old CDs into decorative sun-catchers.

    Members at Start in Salford sampled a number of Rubbish Revamped sessions including Folksy hangings, Blissed Out with Buttons and revamping greeting cards.

    University student mentors and school mentees joined together to make junkmail jewellery as part of an Ethical Fashion project run by Manchester Youth Volunteering Project and Reach-Out! Manchester.

    We have worked with schools and run sock monster birthday parties. Groups are kept small and friendly with an appropriate number of helpers to make sure everyone gets the best out of the event. A fun display of revamped rubbish can be put on to inspire and entertain you. Evening or day workshop packages available; please enquire for a quote.
