What is a Menz Shed? A Menz Shed brings men together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh, and work on practical tasks individually (personal projects) or as a group (for the Shed or community).

The Bishopdale Menz Shed started life at Sundbye Community House but is now located at 55A Kendal Avenue. It is open on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 1:30pm. Phone Richard Rendle on 03 359 7275 for more information or visit menzshed.org.nz/bishopdale
