except during the first and last Thursday's of the year.
​
‘MY Workshop' is a community-based, non-commercial project for adults located in the garden grounds at Horton Manor House, near Ilminster.
​
We provide a place where people can feel included and safe.
Our Aim
The aim of our workshop and garden project is to improve the wellbeing of our members. We seek to provide opportunity for people to work on community and personal projects together, whilst making new friends along the way.
Learning New Skills
Our workshop project is run by Jay Ingram's who is an experienced construction teacher and craftsman. Many come to learn new skills and to revive old skills. We learn a great deal from one another, but our main goal is to laugh and to be family together.
Our Progress
We have built the workshop have kitted it out with new equipment. We plan to buy more equipment in future as our group grows. Are next main goal is to improve the power supply to the workshop and to install an outdoor canopy for those that prefer to work outside. We are seeking to partner with other local groups and organisations.
