Run by women, for women. At the shed we believe that recreation leads to connection - join us if you want to :
Make friends
Have fun
Try new things
Share your knowledge
Make time for yourself away from home and work.
Recreation is anything you do with your leisure time - crafts, book clubs, resistance training. Recreation is an important component of mental and physical health, which often gets neglected in our busy lives.
Some women cannot commit to weekly activities and so we run a variety of activities on a monthly or fortnightly basis. We vary times and try to offer options on weekends, daytimes and evenings.
Our activities are either 'Meetups', 'Workshops' or 'Classes':
Workshops are designed to teach you a specific skill, all info and materials are supplied.
Meetups are times when you can get together with other members without a taught element - e.g. social outings, studio time
Classes are regular activities that are led by paid teachers - for example yoga or resistance training.
We aim to keep participation costs low so that people can attend regularly. Friendships are created when time x common interests x repeated. We welcome all women and are creating a diverse community of women of varying life stages and experiences.
