Episode synopsis
The competition to find the country's best shed continues with the Summerhouse/Cabin group, which throws up a replica 18th century US frontier cabin, a Gothic grotto decorated with 50,000 seashells, and a scaled down Elizabethan lodge. In the Workshop category, a 1930s garage, complete with classic car restorations, battles it out with a graffiti artist's shed with its own gorilla, an extraordinary bird box production line, and the smallest shed in the whole competition: a music venue with room for just one performer and one audience member.
About Amazing Spaces: Shed of the Year
Amazing Spaces: Shed of the Year' is a celebration of one of the symbols of British eccentricity: the humble garden shed, a hallowed land of splendid isolation in nature, and often an arena for creativity. The competitors have all expanded the limits what a shed can be, and what they can be used for. George Clarke pays a visit to the entrants, and has seen recreations of the Millennium Falcon, a museum for antique lawnmowers, and a travelling shed that can reach 80mph. The finalists are the top four sheds entered into each of the eight categories which include Eco, Unexpected, Pub & Entertainment, Workshop & Studio, Unique, Cabin & Summerhouse, Historical and Budget.
