Performing

Alongside our main workshop space, the Inverclyde Shed also hosts a range of other groups / interests who use our general purpose rooms within the same building. Members enjoy a wide range of activities often led by fellow experienced members sharing skills in a relaxed peer to peer way, building trust and friendship whilst having great fun.
