The Midsomer Norton Men’s Shed, based at Farrington’s Farm Shop, has only been open since June this year.

However, in that short time, the group has expanded its original premises, using mainly recycled materials.

Please come and see us – you will be impressed how good our shed extension looks; a place where you can enjoy tea/coffee, companionship, a space to natter and relax! And if you feel so inclined, we have a workshop to make/repair things.

Our numbers have been increasing rapidly, and we are already now open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9.30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If we have enough interest and have the people to lead it, we will try to arrange additional sessions and hopefully a Ladies-only session. (We already have some ladies who would like a ladies-only session).

Membership is open to anyone over the age of eighteen and is for people of any skill or ability. For each person the first two sessions will be free (just to see if you like it).

We can be found in the Men’s Shed behind the café at Farrington Farm Shop every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9.30 a.m. – 1 p.m. You can find us at: www.midsomermensshed.co.uk Email: [email protected] Facebook: www.facebook.com/mensshedmsn/ or phone: 07818 420685.

We are a friendly bunch and we look forward to seeing you soon.
