At the beginning of 2020 we held a hugely successful community interest meeting. Many people came along from all age groups, wanting to be ‘shedders’, they shared their ideas and hopes.
Over the last year, plans have changed several times due to the pandemic. Before lockdown, we had secured the use of the land at the side of and rooms within the Parish Hall and, as this happened, the pandemic hit and the Hall closed. Sometimes clouds do have a silver lining and by being forced to explore alternative options, we have come up with what we think will be a strong long-term opportunity for the Shed to form and grow.

We think we are pretty unique at our Shed and very proud of what we have achieved. After looking for some time for a suitable building in which to run our Shed without success, we came up with the plan to embrace some of the village heritage and create a Shed out of two railway goods wagons. We have now fully restored the two wagons and in the first have created a workshop for anything woody, and in the second there is a working area for our electrical/small engineering team, with of course, the most important part of any Shed - a tearoom for members to sit, have a cuppa and a chat.
If you would like to have a look around, please feel free to pop along on any day we are open.

Men's Sheds are similar to Garden Sheds
Mens Sheds are similar to garden sheds – a place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practise skills and enjoy making and mending. The difference is that garden sheds and their activities are often solitary in nature while Men’s Sheds are the opposite. They’re about social connections and friendship building, sharing skills and knowledge, and of course a lot of laughter.
