A BRAND new communial space for men to complete DIY-style projects of various types has opened in Dawlish.

The ‘Men’s Shed’, which was opened by Mayor of Dawlish, Cllr Lisa Mayne on Monday, September 26, is a community space for men to connect, converse and create and is located at the Strand Community Centre in Dawlish.

The activities of the Men Shed are akin to those of garden sheds, but for groups of men to enjoy together.

A Men’s Shed offers more than just a space for men to tackle joint projects, they are also an ideal place to make new friends, learn new skills and hobbies and enjoy banter among like-minded individuals.
