The Shed, more than a workshop
by Brighton Council

The Jordan River Community Shed has long been a special place for locals. Located at 10 Sorell Street, Bridgewater, The Shed is more than just a workshop – it’s a space where community members connect, create and contribute.
The Shed supervisor is a mad keen shedder, always ready to help others bring their ideas to life. Whether it’s guiding someone through their first woodworking project, supporting a local group with repairs, or simply sharing a cuppa and a chat by the fire, her energy and enthusiasm make The Shed a true community hub. She supports and encourages everyone to fulfil their dreams, making The Shed a place where everyone feels valued and inspired.
Recently, The Shed held a community consultation, inviting locals and community groups to share their ideas on how to make the space even better. Following this, a dedicated working group was formed, bringing together community members, local organisations, Jordan River Services and council representatives.
Jordan River Service and The Shed would like to thank everyone who attended the community consultation and for sharing your valuable ideas and suggestions. We’re on a mission to grow The Shed, bring more people into the fold, and ensure it thrives for years to come.

The Shed is a vibrant space where people can work with wood, create personal projects or assist with community repairs, meet new people, share stories and friendships over a cuppa, and join activities.
The Jordan River Community Shed offers flexible membership packs, including both casual and annual memberships, making it accessible for everyone. Payment plans are available to make joining easier for everyone.
If you haven’t met our shed supervisor yet, come and visit! Whether you want to learn new skills, work on a project, or just enjoy good company, The Shed is the place for you.
