Shedding is back!!

We are back in action!​
Whether you're a member, a prospective member or just Shed-curious there's no need to book.

We are back to free tea, coffee and biscuits (and maybe cake now and then) and session fees stay at £2.

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!


Training and projects...


At a recent committee meeting we plan to continue our training programme after our AGM in April and we will be confirming dates as soon as we can. ​These demonstrations provide the essential first step towards developing the necessary confidence and competence to enable safe, independent use of machines in Winslow Shed.

Annual General Meeting - Tuesday 5th April 2022 , 11:00 am.

The Annual General Meeting provides us a welcome chance to meet and thank supporters, to review where we are and to look forward to the coming year. Formalities will be brief leaving plenty of time for refreshments and our slightly out-of-season but much anticipated……

Belated Christmas BBQ! - Everyone welcome! Hot dogs available from 12:30, please sign-up in the Shed or get in touch to let us know so that we can cater accordingly.

Who are we?

Are you retired or out of work and want something to do.. then look no further!

'Men's Sheds' is a network of local 'Sheds' where men can meet up to undertake hobbies among the company of like minded people. The original idea was started in Australia in 1996 and they have about 2000 'Sheds' throughout the country. Ireland has around 200, England has around 15 and Wales has 6.

We are lucky that we have several existing 'Sheds' in Buckingham, Aylesbury and Milton Keynes so we are in good company and sharing their experiences and resources.

'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.

We are preparing facilities with wood working equipment, light gym equipment, pool table and 'comfy chairs'. Anything that you can add then we are more than happy to accept.

Come along and see what we can offer and more importantly what you can offer to our new 'Shed' in Winslow.

We have been given the use of temporary facilities in Station Road (Opposite Chapman Autos and next to the Car Wash) as a start up with some excellent potential and facilities.

We are open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

​We will be pleased to see you, just come along and say hello!​
