The Herstmonceux Men’s Shed is in the workshop space adjoining the Science Laboratories at the Castle, working on individual projects, as well as assisting our Estate Team and students by creating bird boxes, signage, and even a Mink Raft! It is open on Wednesdays from 10.00 am until 4.30pm. To reflect wider local interest, it is also a Community Workshop which men and women can attend.
You can bring your own projects along, join in one of our community repair projects, or just have a cup of tea and pick up hints and tips. In addition to the workbenches and wide range of hand and power tools, we have an area with tables and chairs for planning, or working on projects and craft work.
You do not have to be expert in a craft, as members are encouraged to share their skills and help others.
