Shed of the year 2026 open for entry, plus meet our new sponsor

For 20 years, Shed Of The Year has celebrated the creativity and individuality of Britain’s shed owners.

From workshops and studios to garden pubs and peaceful retreats, sheds have become some of the most personal spaces; the competition returns to discover the most imaginative sheds across the UK.

So I would now pleased to announce that Shed of the year 2026 is now open for entry & proudly sponsored by Tiger

Tiger joins the Shed of the Year family, and not just for tea in the shed.

Having them in our corner has given me massive confidence that 2026 will be our biggest and best year yet.

What makes this partnership feel so right is that Tiger is a genuine shed manufacturer. They don’t just ‘get’ sheds; they live and breathe the craft, the passion, and the culture that we all love. They care about our community and want it to thrive, not just for the branding. Plus, with their incredible network of showsites across the UK, we’re going to be able to reach even more local shed-heads than ever before.

It’s extra special to hit this milestone, as 2026 marks our 20th anniversary. It’s the perfect time for a fresh chapter with a partner who understands the spirit of this competition. I can’t wait to see the entries, uncover new talent, and celebrate the heart of British shed culture. Here’s to a landmark year that sets the stage for the next two decades!
