A Grand Opening to Remember!

Saturday 10 October was a very special day for Newbury Men’s Shed, we officially celebrated the opening of our workshop.

We were delighted to welcome Steve Fletcher, much-loved star of BBC’s The Repair Shop, who joined us for the ribbon cutting ceremony alongside the Mayor of Newbury, Councillor Jo Day.


It was wonderful to see so many members, friends, supporters and local residents come together.

The turnout was a reflection of the enthusiasm and support that have helped bring the Shed to life.

What began as an idea has grown into a welcoming community where people can share skills, work on projects, build friendships and support one another’s wellbeing.

A huge thank you to Steve, Councillor Jo Day and everyone who joined us or helped make the day such a success.

This is an exciting new chapter for Newbury Men’s Shed — this is just the beginning!

It was great to have a town councillor with us, along with members from Tadley and Hungerford Men’s Sheds, and Thatcham Hackspace, all contributing to a really informative and supportive discussion. In particular, thank you to Marco for speaking about Tadley Men’s Shed, and to Tony, Graham, Ian, Nick...
