Are you retired, between jobs or at a loose end and looking for something to do …..then look no further!
'Men's Sheds' is a network of local 'Sheds' where men can meet up to undertake hobbies in the company of like-minded people. The original idea was started in Australia in 1996 - there are now over 1130 'Sheds' in the UK alone and, of course, the best one is here in Winslow! We are lucky to be able to share experiences and resources with existing 'Sheds' in nearby Buckingham, Milton Keynes and Bletchley so we are in good company.
'Men's Sheds' are friendly workshops where men can gather and work together, share skills and knowledge or just have a chat and a laugh over a coffee. Winslow ‘Shedders’ tend to work on their own projects most of the time but making and mending jobs arrive regularly from the local community - there is always something to get involved with if you fancy.
We opened our doors in 2015 and now have very good wood machining and woodturning resources, some capacity for welding and light engineering and generous space for ‘cleaner’ activities such as games, model-making and hobbies. Plenty of comfy chairs, social space, a well-stocked biscuit tin and a reliable kettle do, however, remain our biggest priorities!
Come along and see what we can offer and, more importantly, what you can offer to our 'Shed' in Winslow.
We are here for you!
Whether you're a member, a prospective member or just 'Shed-curious' there's no need to book.
Although making and mending is an important feature of Shedding, we do have a large social area with comfy chairs, plenty of puzzles, games and, of course, the kettle is always on.
We know that ‘ammering and sawin’ doesn’t float every man’s boat but getting our social area buzzing could well be something you could be a part of?
Due to the rising energy fees we have been forced to increase our fees to £ 2.50 per session, but don't forget that includes free tea or coffee and a biscuit (if you are lucky!)
These can be paid with cash on the day or by totting-up over (say) a month – we have now get one of those clever contactless card readers too!
We look forward to seeing you!
When are we open?
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
