ActivSheds is a practical project for people who would like to share knowledge, learn new skills, and pursue hobbies and interests, while contributing to a great community project. It is also somewhere to socialise and share a cuppa.

What to expect?

Enjoy working shoulder to shoulder in our well-equipped sheds, making smaller items such as bird boxes, garden trugs or obelisks, as well as collaborating on bigger projects such as building raised beds and renovating garden furniture. The team have tried their hand at garden sofas made of pallets and a greenhouse made of plastic bottles, not to mention hedgehog homes and a mini Suffolk barn!

We run mixed-gender sessions for people who need a level of support to get involved. You can pick your own project to work on, with staff and key volunteers helping you turn your creative ideas into reality.

Bespoke sessions can be booked for groups/ placements.

We need your help

We need good-quality timber for making items – please get in touch if you have any to donate.
