This year we will again have a stall at the Neilston Agricultural Show where we can exhibit some of the things that we make at the Shed.
The members are currently putting together some examples of our work, a few shown in the pics. Will post some more as things progress.
Just a reminder that the show takes place on the first Saturday of May, here is a link to the website -

We operate as a charity and ask for a donation with a minimum to cover our costs. If anyone is interested in obtaining any of these prior to the show, just get in touch and arrange to drop by at the shed. We are open weekdays 10.00 till 1.00pm

If you are not able to get along to the Craft Fair these along with other similar products can be purchased directly at the Barrhead Shed during our open hours of 10.00 to 13.00 Monday to Friday.
We generally suggest a price based on the cost of material used together with a small donation to the Shed.
Best to get in touch beforehand by calling or message on FB

Barrhead Shed and The New Kids On The Block

As well as being a great Men's Shed in their own right, Barrhead Men's Shed is fantastic at hosting learning visits from new and developing Sheds.

They freely volunteer their skills, knowledge, and experience for the benefit of others – in this case, a Shed in development in neighbouring Newton Mearns, subtly titled The Mearns Shed.

It was a productive meeting, with discussions covering:
🔹 Governance
🔹 Funding
🔹 Structure
🔹 Social connections
🔹 Partnerships
🔹 Potential

A huge thanks to Barrhead Shed for letting us tap into your resourcefulness and generosity. This is what the Scottish Men’s Shed movement is all about – sharing, supporting, and building stronger communities together.

Another project completed at Barrhead Men’s Shed. A display case for a model of HMS Victory, which was presented to Erskine Hospital by Robert Robson in memory of his parents.
Also in the picture is Tony Capriotti who was in charge of the project.
