Andover Men's Shed aims to provide a venue for members to connect while participating in group and individual projects.
We provide opportunities for friendship and socialising in a safe environment. The Shed offers space, expertise and facilities for members to pursue hobbies, crafts and many creative activities. For more information click 'What is a Shed'.
The Shed is generally open Monday, Wednesday and Fridays 10.00am - 1.00pm at Unit 9, Chantry Centre, Andover (quite close to the Angel Inn).
NEWS
We are now settled in our new (temporary) home in the Chantry Centre.
Being in the centre of Andover has lots of advantages:- excellent community visibility, a large warm space with plenty of room for work benches and machinery, a kitchen and of course a toilet.
There are many projects and commissions currently in progress. These include:-
-
A dovecote to be sited in the St. Mary's Church grounds.
-
A large story time chair for Test Valley Borough Council to be sited in the High Street,
-
Rebuilding a railway barrier and ‘pillbox’ outside Rooksbury Mill.
-
The Hawk Conservancy has asked us to make some owl nest boxes.
-
Quality items are also needed to sell in our shop window, including pens, bowls, candleholders, planting tubs, carvings and nest boxes.
We need new and existing members to help us complete these projects.
Please come along and join in the fun of making something useful while enjoying the companionship of fellow makers.
New Home for the Shed
The Shed is urgently looking for a new permanent venue.
If you can help please contact our Chairman Roger Evans via Contact Us.
