Troon Men’s Shed and South Ayrshire Council are inviting the local community to step inside and discover what Men’s Sheds are all about this International Men’s Day (Wednesday 19th November 2025) as part of Scotland’s second Shed Open Doors Day.
As members of the Scottish Men’s Sheds Association (SMSA), the leading national men’s health and wellbeing charity, Shed Open Doors Day shines a spotlight and celebrates the life-changing impact of Men’s Sheds across Scotland on this global awareness day.
As a proud SMSA member and part of a movement of 212 Sheds across all 32 local authority areas, Troon will welcome the public, social prescribers, health professionals, and local services to pop in and see first-hand the activities and camaraderie that make Men’s Sheds so unique.
Owen Neil said: “Men’s Sheds are community spaces where men come together to connect, share skills, and support one another—improving health, wellbeing, and tackling social isolation, loneliness and boredom in the process. With over 90 members in Troon Men Shed, our Shed has become an important part of the Troon local community.
“We are proud to support celebrating Mens contribution in society in partnership with South Ayrshire Council on the day, so everyone is welcome to join us for a cuppa and as we say “the kettle is always on in the shed” so why not look in for an hour or so on the day.
Everyone is welcome to drop in on the day, wives, partners and family members to have a cuppa, meet members, and find out more.
