I think that your best chance is for your parents to add the contents of the shed to their policy. They can list individual items of significant value.

Its unlikely that an ins company will give you insurance for the shed separately.

One of the troubles with this country is finding any insurance company or broker that will handle anything unusual.

As Pkiernan says, try adding to the house insurance. I'd be fairly honest about what you are covering otherwise if the worst happens they'll wriggle out of paying. Otherwise, it's a case of more shopping around, with what you have in there try a broker that handles classic stuff or even a marine broker (the Fergie is for launching the boat isn't it )
