Shed’s door reopens and you’re welcome to have a look in

Blandford Men’s Shed, founded in 2018 and based in The Blandford School grounds, is now back open after the pandemic closure for men and women over the age of 18 to share the tools and resources they need to work on chosen projects.

It is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4pm to 7pm, and is a larger version of the typical man’s garden shed – a place to feel comfortable and pursue practical interests in a safe, relaxed, friendly and inclusive atmosphere.

Activities usually involve making or mending in wood such as carpentry, and other woodworking skills. Reclamation, reuse and restoration also feature strongly, and whichever activities are pursued, the essence of a Men’s Shed is not the building, but the network of friendships between the members.
