Empingham Mens Shed

The "Men's Shed" meet monthly in the Cricket and Social Club for informal talks, discussions and to plan visits - over a pint (or a coffee).

"The Shed" is open to all men regardless of age, background or ability, although it is primarily aimed at those who have retired or are winding down their careers. It provides an opportunity to share our knowledge, interests and stories with others, to apply these to the benefit of the village community and in doing so to develop new friendships.

The Men's Shed helps keep its members physically, mentally and socially active, and to make Empingham a special community.

New members are always welcome. There is a small membership fee but no agendas or minutes. Just come along - we usually meet at 7.30 on the last Tuesday of the month. Check first with Bob Willars .

The Mens Shed have recently set up two sub groups, one looking at the history of the village, and another making various items in wood.

Mens Shed History Group

This group have been researching the history of the village, it's buildings and it's inhabitants, with a view to producing a number of display boards ready for the 100th anniversary of the sale of the village by the Ancaster estate in 2024.

The boards have now been produced and were on display at the Village Breakfast in the Audit Hall in September 2024. They will be on display at the Hall, in the Church, or at events around the village.

Copies of the boards can be seen here

Mens Shed Woodworking Group

Members of this group are producting a number of useful items in wood. These are available to order. For orders or enquiries, please contact the Men's Shed Woodwork group
