Are any open to everyone?

Crewe Shedders, The Shed (Tameside), Stockport Community Shed, Halton Men's Shed, Stretford Shedders and Community Workshop Lytham say in their own words that they are open to everyone. Plenty of others are too without saying so, so ask.

Is a shed the same as a course?

No. A shed is somewhere to join; a course is something to book. If you want teaching instead, or as well, there are 44 woodworking courses in North West England on this site.
