If you are 50+ and interested in learning or sharing skills in a workshop environment (and meeting and chatting with some very nice people!) then Men & Women in Sheds is for you!
Men & Women in Sheds is located at:
Charnwood Shed, Unit 9, Oaks Industrial Estate,
Festival Drive, Loughborough. LE11 5 XN
The Shed is open again!
It’s great to see everyone again and catch up and to get back to some of those projects.
We are open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 9.30-12.30 and 12.30-15.30 each day. Charge is £2.50 per session.
We welcome new members. Before your first visit you must register with Owen, the Shed co-ordinator, who will tell you all about it and discuss any special requirements you may have.
If you have any questions please call 01509 211603 or email the Shed co-ordinator Owen on Owen.Jones@ageukleics.org.uk
Earlier this year, before lockdown, Trish & Diedra made this smart foot-rest to raise funds for the Shed. “We’re looking forward to the reopening of the Shed. We have now been going for almost 3 years and miss the company and support we get from all the wonderful Shed community”. More >>
We’re a motley bunch from all backgrounds and abilities. Some have been wood-working all their lives and others are complete beginners. Everyone helps each other.
There’s no fixed schedule or classes. Everyone can do their own project, whether it’s making a simple bird-box, a rocking-horse (requires lots of patience!), garden planters, toys, furniture repairs or creating a fantasy garden combining pottery, wood-working and gardening skills.
If you’d like to give it a try contact 01509 211603 or email the Shed co-ordinator Owen on Owen.Jones@ageukleics.org.uk
We need funds to keep our Shed going. You can help by buying Charnwood Community Lottery Tickets – with 60% of the ticket price going to The Shed (and you may win something for yourself!)
You can help keep our Shed going by giving a small – or large! – donation on-line using Virgin Money Giving:
Thank you!
