I’m aware of a few celebrities who are shed fans, but of course will have to try and contact them over the coming months.
So if you know of any celebrity sheddi, please post them here, does not matter if they are A list or Shed list
More a case of Rain in Rome than Reading.
thanks to Tony for the picture
As we are getting more press attention, I’m making a call to all those people out there that have a shed and have not put it on the site yet, why not share it? we welcome Normal sheds, garden offices, unique sheds, in fact if you think its a shed then share it! plus it could be up for shed of the year 2008!
thanks wilco
Hopefully they will write up a good piece to promote shedism and that would help Shed week 2008 next year.
if any of the other shed winners want to answer a few questions then let me know.

Well not much surprise there as most of us would love to show “the Beeny” around our sheds.
I was a bit shocked that Diarmiud beat me at the last minute, but that would have made my head too big for my shed.
Chris Evans and Angelina were joint 5th but just beaten by “someone else”, and I suppose Brad Pitt is not know for his love of sheds, as he came last, but maybe Bradelina should share their for Shed of the Year 2008!!
Here are the results to our vote (including the votes taken from shedworking.co.uk)
| Sarah Beeny | 40% |
| Diarmuid Gavin | 18 % |
| Uncle Wilco | 15 % |
| Someone else | 10 % |
| Angelina Jolie | 8% |
| Chris Evans | 8% |
| Brad Pitt | 2 % |
Sarah will be getting something nice from the shed as a prize, and maybe a tshirt for all her support - of shedweek!.
