With a current membership of 40, Killarney Men’s Shed offers a range of activities, support and a social gateway for men in the Killarney area.
Some just come for the social chat and tea/coffee. You are most welcome to join us and start a new activity that suits you.
What We offer
- Discover a place to connect to
- A community to belong to
- Mates to make it all worthwhile
We also provide support for families of people with special needs via a partnership with Kerry Parents & Friends Association.
Our History
The Men’s Shed movement began in Australia in 1996. Ireland’s first shed was established in Tipperary town in 2009 followed closely by Kerry’s first shed in Killarney in 2011. We thank the Kerry Mental Health Association for providing us with a state of the art building at nominal rent.
In 2013 the Men’s Shed in Ireland received recognition at the highest level when our President Michael D. Higgins became patron of the Ireland Men’s Shed Association.
Members of Men’s Shed’s are known as shedders. The most important thing in our shed is the tea/coffee pot.
