The Sheds

The Sheds are quickly popping up all around Australia, with one likely to be found close to you.

The Sheds (typically known as Men's Sheds) function is to provide a safe, welcoming and encouraging space for all people, including women, to work on their projects, learn new skills and develop valuable friendships. Meet other new people and use your skills or learn new ones in a friendly supportive environment. Below is some information on a few located within the City of Salisbury:
