At Samford Area Mens Shed, we have activities for a wide range of men of all ages.
Whilst many of our members are retired or semi-retired, we encourage younger men to join us and enjoy the camaraderie and intellectual stimulation we seek to provide.
The ‘Shed’ operates generally from 8:00AM to 4:00PM Monday to Friday.
We welcome visitors to our weekly briefing (our ‘Talkfest’) from 9:30 each Tuesday, or other times by arrangement.
