Building Connections, Sharing Skills, Creating Purpose

The Dun Laoghaire Men’s Shed is made up of a group of (mainly retired) men in the Dun Laoghaire area who meet to participate in various activities (such as woodwork, art, horticulture, and often just to chat), depending on each person’s interest.

Some just come for the social chat and tea/coffee and biscuits.

You are welcome to join us and start a new activity that suits you.

What’s been happening at the Dun Laoghaire Men’s Shed?

2025 is the Dun Laoghaire Men’s Shed 10th Anniversary!
Over the years we have renovated the old Coach House to be a comfortable welcoming environment for all our activities.


We hold our AGM, usually in January, and have a good discussion about how we function and how we can offer an even better service to members. Fred Price has taken on Activities Organiser, so watch this space.

For example, invited by Cormac Devlin TD we had a visit to the Oireachtas for a tour of Leinster House earlier in the year, and this week, invited by Barry Ward TD, we are going back for a second visit as some members were not free for the first one.


We have had requests to make more Book Exchanges, repair and/or make Garden seats and other woodworking projects. The gardening year is over and we had a bumper crop of tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, apples, pears.
