Men’s Shed

Men’s Shed

A Men’s Shed is a community based project, where men or women can come together to learn, share skills and make long-lasting friendships together.

Most sheds engage in activities such as woodwork, gardening, carpentry and community work. However, there are more special interests sheds that focus on things like music, fishing and restoration work.
