To some it may look like a haberdashery has exploded over this quiet Tameside village, but in actual fact it has been 'yarn bombed'.
Brightly coloured pom poms hang from trees and hedges, woolen figures dangle from gate posts and even the pavement bollards have been jazzed up.
Now we know what you're thinking - what on earth is yarn bombing?
Good question.
Yarn bombing is type of graffiti or street art that has been growing in popularity in recent years and sees people decorate their communities with colourful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre.
This will be the second year Broadbottom has been yarn bombed, and it seems everyone is really getting into it.
As well as residents, local schools and clubs have also been getting involved.
"We want to decorate the village and make it look beautiful," event organiser Janine Barber said.
"Hopefully it will help some of the local businesses too by attracting people to Broadbottom."

Janine says that yarn craft is a lost art among the younger generation, and that has been working with local children over the last few weeks to show them how enjoyable a hobby it can be.
"They seem to really like it," she added. "I've been working with adults as well.
"That's what's so great about the concept, anyone can get involved - old or young - and show off their skill set and most importantly feel included in a village event."
Janine says she's expecting this year's 'Yarn Bomb' to be bigger, with neighbouring villages such as Mottram also taking part.
The yarn crafts are exhibited from the first week in June, and stay up until July 7.
