'Nerd' den with an 18-foot gaming table and battle boards is crowned UK 'Shed of the Year' - where friends gather every week to remember a pal who died from cancer

It was originally built to house tabletop wargaming memorabilia, but quickly expanded into what has now been dubbed Otty's Hobby Shed 2.0. Andrew Wilcox, Founder and Head Judge of Shed of the Year, praised the heart at the core of Otty's Hobby Shed 2.0. 'Otty's Hobby Shed 2.0 perfectly captures what Shed of the Year is all about. 'Otty's Hobby Shed 2.0 stood out not only because of the impressive build itself, but because of the purpose behind it. While every category had a unique story to tell, Otty's Hobby Shed 2.0 truly captured the spirit of what makes this competition so special.'
