A place to make things, meet people and enjoy good company
And despite our name, women are very welcome too!
Ferryside Men’s Shed is a friendly, relaxed place where everyone is welcome to get together, have a chat, share interests, learn new skills and get involved in practical and community projects.
You don’t need to be good at DIY. You don’t need any particular skills. And you certainly don’t need to bring your own toolbox.
Whether you’re retired, new to Ferryside, looking for a new hobby, hoping to meet more people, or would simply enjoy getting out of the house and having some company, we’d love to welcome you.
🔨 Make, mend and create
There’s always something to get involved with.
Work on a project, repair or make something of your own, share a skill you already have, or learn something completely new.
And if you’d rather just put the kettle on and have a chat, that’s absolutely fine too.
☕ It’s about much more than making things
Despite the name, a Men’s Shed isn’t really about the shed.
It’s about the people in it.
It’s somewhere to meet friends, make new ones, share ideas, have a laugh and enjoy being part of something.
There’s no pressure to take part in everything and no expectation that you need to be an expert at anything.
👩🔧 Women are welcome too
Our name might be Ferryside Men’s Shed, but membership isn’t just for men.
Women are very welcome to join us, take part in projects, share their skills, learn something new or simply enjoy the social side of the Shed.
Men, women, beginners and experienced makers alike, there’s a place for you here.
🐝 Part of the Ferryside community
We’re proud to be part of the community at Calon y Fferi.
Members can get involved with practical projects, repairs and community ideas, as well as sharing knowledge and experience with one another.
But getting involved is always your choice.
Sometimes a cup of tea, a biscuit and a good conversation are more than enough.
Never been to the Shed before?
Don’t worry about joining straight away.
Just come and meet us.
Have a cuppa, meet some of the members, see what we’re up to and decide whether it’s for you.
No experience needed.
Men and women welcome.
No pressure.
Just come along and say hello.
Good company. Practical projects. Always time for a cuppa.
