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 open on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays 10.00am - 1.00pm and Thursday 6.00 - 8.00pm
Unit 9, Chantry Centre, Andover (quite close to the Angel Inn).
Andover Men's Shed provides a space for men and women to come together and enjoy each other's company. We combine this with our passion for handicrafts such as wood working, painting and community projects.
We receive funding from local councils and organisations as well as self funding from donations for our products, event participation and community works.
Being in the centre of Andover has lots of advantages:- excellent community visibility, a large warm space with room for workbenches, machinery, a kitchenette and of course a toilet.
There are always projects in progress, as well as items we sell in our shop window, including pens, bowls, candleholders, planting tubs, carvings and nest boxes. We undertake diverse requests in many forms such as signs, ornament holders, clocks and garden ornaments.
We welcome new members to help us complete these projects, make new friends or just broaden your activities to get out of the house. So please come along and join in the fun of making something useful while enjoying the companionship of fellow makers.
We are not able to cater for those in need of care nor do we offer short training workshops or activities for children.
