A men s shed finally has a home of its own after spending three years in a cramped and cold pub back room.
North Walsham Men s Shed will open in its own premises on the grounds of The Grange care home at 2.30pm on Saturday April 17.
For three years the group met in the backroom of the White Swan, where participants had to wrap up warm during winter, however the agreement came to an end when there was a change of landlord at the pub last year.
