Rolleston Men's Shed

For men of all ages, not just older ones.

The Rolleston Men's Shed is a place to share and learn practical skills, make or repair things and socialize with like minded men.

We have fully equipped woodwork and engineering workshops and a great meeting room where we can enjoy a chat with fellow members over morning tea.
