Weekday drop-in sessions
Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays 10-12.
Please note that our Wednesday sessions are quiet sessions - just hand tools are used during this session.
Our sessions are open to all. You may find us building bird boxes, repairing a rocking horse, making bottle top earrings, sewing bunting or making a cork board.
It may be that you'd like to bring along your own project, help with repairs at the Shed or simply enjoy a chat and a cup of tea.
Everyone can find their place at the Shed.
