About Women's Sheds in Ireland

Women’s sheds in Ireland began with a simple, but powerful idea: that every woman deserves a space to belong. This growing movement provides opportunities for women to meet regularly, share experiences, learn new skills and build meaningful friendships. Each shed is community led, welcoming women from all backgrounds.

Beyond social benefits, being part of a community has a profound impact on mental health and overall wellbeing. Social connection fosters happiness, confidence and a sense of purpose. Across Ireland, Women’s Sheds are emerging as vital spaces for connection and creativity. Members come together to learn and share skills, take part in educational and wellbeing activities, build friendships and a strong local support network.

A charming wooden garden shed is surrounded by lush greenery and a variety of colorful flowers. Vines are growing around the structure, and there are decorative elements such as hanging gourds and garden ornaments. The lawn is neatly maintained, and the atmosphere is serene and inviting.

I found a supportive community here that has helped me overcome my feelings of isolation.

A wooden shed with a slanted roof and a small white-framed window is set in a garden area. The garden has rows of plants supported by stakes and is bordered by lush greenery and trees. The area is well-lit by bright sunlight.
