Mayfield Community Men's Shed Midlothian Scotland

The Men’s Shed idea started in Australia over 10 years ago, where the motto became: ‘Men don’t talk face to face they talk shoulder to shoulder.’
Men recognised the benefit of a place where they could get together through working on practical and hands-on tasks, often in the form of a workshop or ‘shed’. As well as a place to pursue their interests or learn something new, it also offers an inclus

ive and relaxed space for men to socialise with people in their own communities. A typical day in the shed

A typical day in the Shed allows men the opportunity to work on projects that help the community, as well as share, learn, and swap skills and ideas. Just as important is the chance to relax, have a cuppa and enjoy the company. A number of ‘manly’ days out are also planned throughout the year. Practical activities might include;
Woodwork and carpentry
Tool repair/renovation
Bike and machine repair
Gardening
Furniture making and renovation
Anything the members have an interest in! Come along to the Shed! Mayfield Bowling Pavilion (behind the Leisure Centre)
Every Friday
9:30am—11:30am
