Our Men’s Shed is a community-based, non-commercial organisation which is open to all men from Midleton and the surrounding region.
The primary activity of the 'shed' is the provision of a safe, friendly and inclusive environment where the men are able to gather and/or work on meaningful projects at their own pace, in their own time and in the company of other men, and where the primary objective is to advance the health and well-being of the participating men. It is also a place to chat, have a cuppa, play a game of cards, or just relax and enjoy the company of like-minded men.
Men’s sheds may look like a shed in your back yard yet they innovatively share some characteristics of both community education and health promotion projects.
We are affiliated to the Irish Men's Shed Association, from which we get direction and assistance with setting up our shed.

We had a great and wide ranging discussion at our meeting on Friday last, and the chocolates from Aghada Theatre Group went down an absolute treat. At our next meeting on Friday at 11.30 we're hoping to have the Community Garda come in and talk to us about Anti Social behaviour in the locality
