Thank you to everybody who made ShedFest 2023 such a great success! We had a superb turnout of over 200 Shedders in attendance.
Thank you to our sponsors Ronseal and Tite-Fix .
Thank you to all the partners who exhibited, Onduline, Wessex Insurance Ladbrokes and Carveco for the lunches. It was fantastic to see so many sheds enjoying themselves, networking, and meeting new people for the first time. Listening to our patron, Chris Fisher RPT aka blind woodturner, as he gave the keynote address the wonderful presentations from Dementia, friends from cancer research uk and then our other partners, including Axminster tools, it was tremendous.
Great to see record numbers. Great to see the competition winners as well.
Thank You

ShedFest 2023 is the UK Men’s Sheds Association annual celebration of Men’s Sheds and Shedders across the UK.
This year we are expanding the exhibition and having demonstrations on skills for Shedders running alongside the development focussed workshops for Shed Leaders.
The exhibition will open from 9am, with a welcome at 10am and concluding at 4pm. UK Men’s Sheds Association’s AGM will be held in the afternoon as part of the day’s programme.
Tickets for the Shedder gathering taking place on Thursday 13th July at Worcester University Area are FREE and include lunch sponsored by Carveco.
A chance to meet up with Shedders from across the UK, exchange banter, advice about tools and running Sheds, and attend some great talks including ‘Finding funding for your Shed’, and ‘The Role of Trustees’, and ‘Cancer Awareness’ presented by Cancer Research UK and more. We’ll also have live demonstrations from Axminster Tools too for those of you looking for more practical creative advice.
It’s shaping up to be the biggest ever exhibition hall with over 25 partners, including Ronseal, Tite-Fix, Metalcraft, Lumberjack, Carveco, St John Ambulance, Tackle Prostate Cancer, Silvertime Legal, Cancer Research UK, Paul Burton Sculptures and more.
Again this year, there will be a space for Sheds to bring their creations, and there will be prizes provided by Onduline of £100 Wickes vouchers for the best turned item, and the best utensil.
