Men’s sheds are community spaces for men to connect, converse and create. The activities are often similar to those of garden sheds, but for groups of men to enjoy together. They help reduce loneliness and isolation, but most importantly, they’re fun.
Nailsea Shedders
Nailsea Shedders is part of a community of men’s sheds formed in 2014. Although known as a men’s shed, around 20% of their members are women.
They are located in Nailsea but serve neighbouring parishes such as Clevedon, Yatton, Backwell, Long Ashton, Brockley and Chelvey.
Nailsea Shedders aim to address the social, health and wellbeing needs of our members, to help improve self-esteem and enable them to use, practice and gain skills.

Clevedon Men’s Shed
Clevedon Men’s Shed is a small and friendly group who work on woodworking projects. They meet every Tuesday from 9am to 1pm at The Stables just behind the Clevedon Community Centre.
A smaller group also helps the amateur dramatic club scenery builders with stage props on Wednesday mornings.
The group is very informal and is assisted by a small steering group of three facilitators.
