Chorleywood Community Shed

Following a public meeting in early July to gauge local interest, the Chorleywood Community Shed was launched at the start of September.

At the moment the Chorleywood Community Shed meets every Wednesday at Bullsland Hall in Chorleywood until permanent premises can be secured. The meetings alternate between daytime and evenings to allow as many “Shedders” as possible to attend based on their other commitment and refreshments are provided.

Meetings so far have included wood whittling (trolls, tent pegs and spoons) and making rolled beeswax candles with upcoming craft activities being determined the Shedders. Ideas for the future also involve going to visit other “sheds” or going to exhibitions/events to gain ideas and knowledge.

The Chorleywood Community Shed is part of a growing Shed movement that now encompasses 850 Sheds across the UK. Most are “Men in Sheds” but there are a growing number of Community Sheds, like the Chorleywood one, which welcome everybody.
