manly42
your local community hub
a playground for human connection.
Our Story
we are about coming together across generations, backgrounds, beliefs and ideologies to talk, make, share and connect.
manly42 started with a simple belief: our community is full of incredible people with stories, skills and ideas worth sharing… we just need more spaces to do it face-to-face.
This is a cultural movement that protects human connection in a digitalised world:
the analogue club brings us together to talk, craft or just read together in the moment
the evenings talks are an opportunity to learn from local experts
we explore big questions in the philosophy group
at village vibes we express ourselves with music, poetry, theatre and dance
you can practice emotional skills for resilience and calm
we get to know local businesses by interviewing them to find out why they do what they do
and at the comedy nights we simply have a laugh about life!
manly42 exists to spark meaningful moments that build a village.
Our Philosophy
Our mission is to create spaces where people can connect.
We evolve alongside our community guided by the values of curiosity, expression and fun.
“beyond home and work, third places are where community comes alive, ideas are shared freely and strangers become neighbours”
