About MenzShed Carterton

MenzShed Carterton plays a valued role in the local social scene by offering a friendly gathering place for men and women who enjoy practical projects and good company. The group focuses on creating items that benefit both members and the wider Carterton community, combining useful skills with regular social connection. With solid woodworking resources and engineering tools available, participants can develop their abilities while contributing to meaningful outcomes. The emphasis remains on fellowship as much as on the finished work, making it a natural fit for anyone seeking a supportive environment in Wellington’s Wairarapa district.

Where It All Happens

The shed operates from the Clareville A&P Show Grounds in Carterton, providing a convenient and well-equipped base for regular sessions. Members meet on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9am to 1pm, giving plenty of time to work on projects or simply enjoy the company of others. The venue closes over the Christmas period and reopens in early January, allowing everyone a proper break before the new year begins. With around 40 members already taking part, new people are welcome to visit and see how the group operates.
