Y Shed Meliden

Y Shed has had a rich and varied history, but for decades, it was largely derelict.

Thanks to the hard work of local resident and Grwp Cynefin, the once-forgotten building was transformed into a vibrant hub.

It’s now central to the community, surrounded by countryside and boasting a sparkling sea view.

Y Shed supports five new businesses plus nearly 30 self-employed artisans and crafters who display their work in Y Shed’s shop where they sell everything from jewellery to local honey.

Small businesses occupy bespoke units, converted from shipping containers into modern, welcoming business premises.

All of the businesses enjoy competitive rents and receive free in-house support, including online and offline marketing.  The Y Shed team also help start-ups identify growth opportunities through entrepreneurship programmes, forums, and grants.

Alongside the businesses, we have a large award-winning, pet-friendly café.

Visitors wanting to sit back and relax or meet with friends and family can make the most of ample space both inside and out with a mezzanine offering unrivalled views out across the Irish Sea.

We also have two retail shops, an ice cream parlour, sportswear outlet, beautician and podiatrist.
