Welcome to Culter & District Men’s Shed (CDMS)
The Culter Men’s Shed is a place where members can come to occupy themselves in a variety of activities in a supportive and social environment, or even just to chat in a change of scenery. 
Our main activities are shown in the ‘What We Do’ menu section, but facilities can be used for any reasonable purpose.
Engaging yourself in an activity alongside other people is a great way to beat feelings of isolation and maintain a positive outlook. Men’s Sheds are unique and excel in what they can offer.
Have a look around this website for further information or just come along some time to chat to any member about what we do.

Photography Group
On Monday 27th July 2026 the Group had a pleasant visit to the airfield of the Deeside Gliding Club near Aboyne.  Pictures taken on the day, capturing the spirit of aviation, can be seen HERE or by navigating to the Photography Group page.
The next meeting will be on Tuesday 8th Sept 2026 at 18:45 and the theme will be ‘Summer 2026’. All who come along will be made very welcome – no expensive equipment required. There will be no meetings in July and August as a summer break. A few pictures can be seen on the Photography Group page (under the ‘What We Do’ tab) representing the June 2026 theme ‘Statues’.

Music Group
Our next booking is for September and then we return in December to play at Kirk Manor in Cults.

Easter Anguston VSA (Voluntary Services Aberdeen)
In March we were busy making wooden animal profiles for VSA’s Easter trail at their Easter Anguston Linn Moor farm. We made sheep, Easter bunnies and some very cute looking fairy houses to affix to trees.

It’s always a privilege to help the wider community, and especially so for VSA which has been providing support and care for vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the Aberdeen area for over 150 years.

Workshop Annexe
We are pleased to have obtained planning permission for a new annexe to the workshop.  It will alleviate the space restrictions of the existing workshop in the main building which becomes cramped if too many people want to use it at the same time. It will also allow development of a wider variety of facilities. 

The new building will be steel-framed with insulated cladding panels and will replace the 40-foot shipping container which has served as a workshop and store.
We are currently engaged in trying to obtain funding.
