The Hornsby-Berowra Men's Shed Inc. (HBMS) is nestled away in the Australian bush in leafy Mount Kuring-gai, just north of Hornsby on Sydney's upper north shore.
We aim to provide a welcoming relaxed atmosphere for all members and guests.

Group morning tea is typically at 10am in our covered garden terrace however there are no fixed rules on when to have morning tea. You can make a cuppa anytime!
Our Magpie Shed mascot is a regular attendee.  

* By request, the Shed may operate outside these hours with a minimum of 2 authorised members onsite at all times and agreement to adhere to close up procedures. e.g. Often, members may request to stay longer than 12 noon and the shed does often stay open longer to accommodate this.

See our Workshop & Activities page for more details

The HBMS exists primarily to promote health and community service amongst retired and unemployed men in the north of the Hornsby Shire however we welcome anyone to join our Shed. 

We want members to drop into the Shed and find a relaxed welcoming 'no pressure' atmosphere. Your involvement in Shed activities is up to you. Whether you simply want to drop in for a coffee and chat, work on you own projects, get involved with Shed and community projects, pottering in our bush garden, or helping out on the management committee. 

Please note that the Shed is not for 'tradies' undertaking commercial activities.

Our shared values are:
Mateship – Achieving more as a team than the sum of our individual efforts, we enjoy each other’s company and go about everything in a spirit of convivial good humor.
Service – We undertake work for the benefit of those around us, with special emphasis on groups and individuals who may not be able to perform or afford the work themselves.
Health – We look after each other and promote a healthy lifestyle for senior men. In particular, we are aware of the toll that depression is wreaking on an ageing Australia. We aim to enrich lives with activities that engender physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health within ourselves, our friends and loved-ones.
Community – We are not an inward focused group, but reach out into our local area for work that may benefit the broader community. We think globally but act locally in order to achieve outcomes benefiting our society
