Welcome to Shedders and Fixers

ENJOY.  CREATE.  SOCIALISE

(Charity Number: 1210087)

Shedders and Fixers is a charitable organisation run by a group of dedicated, hard-working volunteers. We are based in a polytunnel shed near Wisbech, on the site of Secret Garden Touring Park.

Whether you are looking for somewhere to work on a project, want to spend time in the company of other crafters, or need the space and equipment to realise your creative vision, then Shedders and Fixers can help.

Our members have a huge range of skills, knowledge and abilities and we welcome everyone regardless of age, abilities or disabilities. We are wheelchair accessible and aim to be fully inclusive for all. Just drop in during our opening times or contact us for more details.

Here are just a few of the crafts you can try at Shedders and Fixers

The shed is made up of three key areas: A large woodworking space, a self-contained metalwork shed and a separate crafting shed. There is also our new kitchen space where we gather for our hard-earned tea and biscuits (and on occasion, a bacon or sausage butty!)

Our new kitchen is a fully accessible space where we can relax with a nice cuppa. It’s also the perfect place to put the world to rights or enjoy a lovely slice of birthday cake! (Photo: July 2026)
 
We’ve seen lots of new crafters join us, bringing all their knowledge and skills, and we’ve held lots of successful workshops already this year, but that is just the start. There’s so much more to come. Keep and eye on our Current Workshops and Events page for details of all the activities on offer over the next few months.

Cambridgeshire Community Lottery: Super Draw Prize – £2,000 Luxury Holiday (or £2,000 Cash)

Shedders and Fixers are part of the weekly Cambridgeshire Community Lottery. Please see our How You Can Help page for full details.

On top of the weekly draw, is the monthly Super Draw. This month in the Super Draw, you could win you a £2,000 Luxury Holiday – perfect for that Summer break. Enter before 8pm on Saturday, 29th August for your chance to win, or choose a £2,000 cash alternative. Every ticket supports a great cause. 
 
In the last few months, the lottery has raised enough money from the sale of tickets to pay for two of our volunteers to attend First Aid training, which means we can increase the availability of qualified First Aiders during opening hours, at our workshops and other on-site events.

A Message from Sally Tabor…

Not so many photos this week 🤔..sorry 🤣, but as always lots going on.
We had our General Meeting on Monday with lots of discussions about our OPEN DAY on SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST (just another reminder 😇 🤣) and lots of ideas to support us through the year and into 2027 🤩
We had more visitors including wonderful Jack from How Are You Fenland, Jeremy photographing us for a new project and also potential new members popping in to see what we do 💚
We had our first generous donation through PayPal to continue our Project Undercover to help us with our new roof. Thank you so much 🥰
Please if anyone else could help, even £1, we would truly appreciate it. A little soon adds up ❤️
We’ve had several very pleased customers, some donating generously. We are very grateful to you 🙏
Lots of organising, cleaning and clearing, getting ready for our Open Day 😀
Then on Saturday we had our second Powertex Workshop. Everyone had a fantastic time learning a completely different skill and medium with fantastic results. Thank you Fen Mill Crafts. We all can’t wait for the next one. Watch this space folks 💚
Plus all the usual shenanigans and banter 😍
