Normal Shed Opening Days
From 10am till 4pm
Monday to Thursday
A Men’s Shed is a larger version of the typical man’s shed in the garden – a place where he feels at home and pursues practical interests with a high degree of autonomy.
A Men’s Shed offers this to a group where members share the tools and resources they need to work on projects of their own choosing at their own pace and in a safe and friendly venue.
They are places of skill-sharing and informal learning, of individual pursuits and community projects of purpose, achievement and social interaction – a place of leisure where men come together to work.
If you are interested in becoming a member please contact
admin@men-shed-horsham.org.uk
or call 07934 507523 for more details.
Please visit the Shed before completing the application form.
Fellow Shedders…
"I enjoy sharing my experience and teaching others, passing my skills on and seeing others enjoy it too. It’s brilliant at the Shed, a good crowd"
Dave D.Member
"The social contact is important - I often talk more freely to guys at the Shed than I do to my friends. It’s also good to share skills. Members may not all have had a hands-on job but they may enjoy working on different things"
Chris W.Member
"I’m not normally sociable but here I am free to work on my own projects"
Brian S.Member
"Mental health wasn’t an issue for me, but the Shed does bring a purpose for getting out of bed in the morning and is good for post-retirement, though it would be good to get younger members in too"
TomMember
"I come down here to have a chat, mess around and do a few things. There is no pressure to make things if you don’t want to’"

¨My wife discovered the Shed initially. I worked for 40 years at the airport and I missed the camaraderie at work but I now have this at the Shed. I come more for the social side of things than doing stuff"

¨My wife found the Shed. When guys retire they don’t think about how they’ll spend their time. The Shed is a melting pot with people from all walks of life. It gives men of a certain age a new outlet and direction, and I enjoy teaching younger guys and those with additional challenges too. It’s nice to give something back, and we might be able to ease pressure on other social care systems by helping people’¨

¨I’m a widower and I come for a bit of company - it’s better than being on your own¨

¨I come to meet up with like-minded people and to use tools I don’t have at home!’¨
