About the Shed
Welcome to our site, here you will find all the information needed on who we are, what we are about, links to useful services, photos, and much much more.
A special mention to the Men who make the time and effort to be part of this journey.
What is a mens shed
A ‘men’s shed’ is a community based project, where men can come together to learn, share skills and make long-lasting friendships together.
Members presently meet every Tuesday night for two hours. Our ambition is to have the shed open on a daily basis.
The programme varies from week to week but members enjoy a cup of tea, a game of cards, pool or a sing-song when no formal programme is arranged.

#castlebarmensshed . Today I had the pleasure of visiting a shed in the County Town. In operation for over 10yeara this shed is full of positive energy..The lads did a great job fixing up an old building and giving it a sense of identity. I would highly recommend that you drop in for a visit if you have time on your hands.#IMSA#mayomentalhealth #westernpeople
