A community group in Chorleywood is seeking new members.
The Chorleywood Community Shed was launched in September 2024 and meets every week in the War Memorial Hall on Common Road.
A ‘Shed’ is a place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practice skills and enjoy making and mending.
It’s about bringing together a diverse community of people, building social connections, forging friendships, sharing skills and knowledge, and often about drinking lots of tea to the sound of laughter.
There are 850 sheds across the country with activities in Chorleywood so far including making bat, bird and bug boxes, crafting Christmas trees out of pallet wood, making rolled beeswax candles, trying willow weaving and a host of other activities.
The meetings typically run for two hours, and the activity of the day is accompanied by tea, coffee and homemade cake.
The motto of the Chorleywood Community Shed is “meet, make, mend” so some weeks the group opt to talk rather than “make” and recently the Shed has also undertaken a few small repairs.
The Shed hopes to secure permanent premises this year which will allow them to set up a workshop and hold several sessions a week.
The village shed group told Chorleywood News: “We are always open to new members so we encourage anyone interested to join our mailing list to keep up to date with meeting dates and events or follow us on social media.”
