About Poole Men’s Shed

Poole Men’s Shed began in 2014 and later moved to its current base at the Limelights Centre. It is part social club and part practical workshop, providing a relaxed setting where members can work at their own pace, exchange knowledge or simply enjoy company and conversation.
