A community hands-on activities workspace at the rear of 82 Grimsby Road which provides facilities and space to bring local residents together to get involved in activities.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When? built 2020. Still open 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red Shed at the rear of the community hub at 82 Grimsby Road is really much more than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a \u2018build a kit\u2019 shed constructed to allow an extra space for the community to get hands-on with activities that needed more than just a meeting room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been known as the \u2018Super Shed\u2019, the \u2018Red Shed\u2019 and eventually \u2018Brocklebank Hall\u2019 in memory of our colleague and friend Ian Brocklebank who passed away in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a hands-on craft space with storage and facilities for groups to meet, keep their materials and keep their crafts ongoing. Groups meet to do various crafts, arts, model making and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a social space and a warmspace over the winters. People come together just to meet and be together. It\u2019s a space for our Camerados Public Living Room too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has wifi and heating; a TV and video facilities; art walls; a 3d printer; lots of sewing machines and crafting materials and games and much much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meetings are held in the shed. Community drop-ins, including Police Community Safety drop-ins take place there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workshops and pop-up events take place – including quite a few urban\/graffiti art sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the doors themselves are a piece of art in memory of Ian Brocklebank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside of the shed is a Plant Pot garden and green space and, with a picnic bench and a couple of other benches there is plenty of space in good weather for the socialising and craft work to spill out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Red Shed is booked for events outside hours then it can be self-sufficient with access to the external kitchenette and toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if visitors to 82 need extra access then a ramp is available for access into both the shed or the main building.<\/p>\n\n\n

Brocklebank Hall<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Super Shed was christened \u201cBrocklebank Hall\u201d in 2022 in memory of Ian Brocklebank who passed away Dec 2020. Ian was a long term committee member of Big Local North Cleethorpes and connected to the charitable and voluntary sector for decades. He\u2019d been a passionate supporter of all our work for the Cleethorpes community.

The rather plain, grey metals doors to the shed were painted Feb 2020 by artist Lynsey Powles.<\/p>\n\n\n
