Men’s Sheds

What to expect?

Men’s Sheds, Community Sheds or just Sheds are similar to garden sheds – a place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practice skills and enjoy making and mending. The difference is that garden sheds and their activities are often solitary in nature while Community Sheds are the opposite. They’re about social connections and friendship building, sharing skills and knowledge, and of course a lot of laughter. They usually have a cuppa (and possibly biscuits) too!

Sheds are for anyone age 18+ (including women) – you can have lots of practical experience or none.
