A safe place for individual pursuits and community projects, a sense of purpose, achievement, and social interaction.

Our Rutland Shed is just a larger version of the typical garden shed, furnished with work benches and equipment for making, mending and restoring. Reclaimed wood and practical skills, either newly learnt or from younger years, are put to good use to make items for nature, the home or just for fun!

Whichever activities are pursued, the essence of a Shed is not the building but the network of relationships between the members, the opportunity to connect and to share life's ups and downs with others.

It is here that friendships are made and problems are shared. Whether learning a new skill or re-engaging with an old hobby, the Shed offers a unique opportunity to create new objects and make new friends.

Become a member

Whether you have a background in wood and metal work or you have never picked up a tool in your life, everyone is welcome at the Shed. Here, people share tools, skills and life with each other, making new friends whilst indulging their creative side. You can put your hand to a project of your choosing, big or small. Use a drill for the first time, try your hand on the pottery wheel or help to make a wheelchair friendly picnic bench. Whatever your skill level, it's not just about the woodwork, it's an opportunity to make new friends, get out of the house and enjoy good company.
